Salah: Leaving Champions League final worst moment of my career

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah said leaving the Champions League final with a shoulder injury was the worst moment of his career as he was left fearing for his place at the World Cup.

Salah left the Kiev pitch in tears last month after tangling with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos in the first half of Liverpool's 3-1 defeat.

Reflecting on what transpired against Madrid, Salah told Marca in a preview of the interview: "Leaving the final was the worst moment of my career."

"I began to think that I would miss the World Cup, it was devastating," Salah said.

"For us to qualify for the World Cup is almost like Spain winning the title," Salah added.
