After being paired with Liverpool, thus creating 'The Mohamed Salah derby', Salah was flooded with text messages from his former AS Roma teammates including Edin Dzeko who's revealed what he sent.

Next Tuesday, Liverpool entertain AS Roma in the first-leg.

Emotions will be running high. Not only will a Champions League final spot beckon for the winner, but also because Salah will be facing off against his ex-side, a stint where he put his name back on the footballing map.

And ahead of the semi-final clash, Dzeko has revealed what he said to Salah.

"I just told him we are going to see each other in the semis and that I wish him to score to break the Premier League record but, in the semis, he can rest a little bit," he told BBC.

While reminiscing his spell in the Italian capital, and analysing his performances in England's top flight: "First of all it's such a shame he left here, but obviously he had to go.

"At the end he did right because he's doing some amazing things in the Premier League, which is not the easiest league to play in."

Dzeko added: "Mo-Mo's a great player and a great guy and hopefully he can break some records this year because 40 goals in England is a lot. I hope he's going to score more in the Premier League but not the Champions League.

"Last year I scored 39 goals. This year I scored, let's say, only 20. I'm very happy for him that he left - but we are missing him."
