8+ min ago (370+ words) The Egyptian star's recent public outburst, in which he accused the club of "throwing him under the bus" after being dropped for three consecutive games, has left Liverpool officials shocked and frustrated. While Salah remains one of the team's most important figures, his remarks have raised serious questions about his attitude, professionalism, and long-term commitment to the club, a trusted source on X has reported. Salah's frustrations stem from being benched for recent matches, despite his strong record and leadership role in the squad. The 33-year-old was left out of the starting XI for three fixtures, one of which he entered at halftime and has since expressed his discontent both privately and publicly. Liverpool insiders, however, have been quick to defend Slot's decision-making, insisting that team selection is based purely on tactical and physical considerations, not personal differences. The club…...

On Match of the Day, Leon Osman suggested that the Egyptian's route back is far from straightforward. "I think it's a long way back without an apology, from Salah, just from his own actions," he said, highlighting that while a return is possible, it won't be simple. Osman also acknowledged that while Isak could be swapped for Salah within the formation deployed in Italy, the timing makes it difficult to bring him back immediately.

Beating Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, at the least, could offer an indication a team is equipped to defeat them in a final, semi-final or quarter-final. Though, more than most, Pep Guardiola can testify to Real's winning habit when the stakes are highest. Because a reading of the scoreline and the table could suggest City, champions as recently as 2023, fourth in the standings now, rank among the favourites.

45+ min ago (372+ words) Liverpool are understood to be eyeing up Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as they begin background work on replacing Mohamed Salah. As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, sources have informed me that there's a genuine possibility of Salah leaving Anfield, and the Reds could look to Barcola alongside other targets like Antoine Semenyo as a possible replacement. One issue, however, is that PSG currently prefer to keep Barcola, and could even try tying the 23-year-old down to a new contract, with his current deal due to end in 2028. Even if PSG want to keep Barcola, it seems sources view this as a potentially realistic deal for Liverpool. Barcola hasn't managed to establish himself as an automatic starter for PSG due to there being so much competition in Luis Enrique's side, so he might well be tempted to seek…...
