Mohamed Salah seemingly shown his true colours after Liverpool were outclassed by Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Salah was an unused substitute as the Reds lost 2-0 at the Parc des Princes to a rampant PSG on Wednesday evening. And after the full-time whistle, the dejected Egyptian icon opted for a solo warm down, passing the TNT Sports crew on his way back to the changing rooms.

He smiled as he shook hands with Steven Gerrard, Steve McManaman and Laura Woods, but made it very clear that he wasn't in the mood to talk. And football fans suspect he was holding himself back from another bombshell interview and passing comment on manager Arne Slot's failed tactics.

That follows the extraordinary rant Salah launched against Slot and the club in similar circumstances in December, after he was left on the bench during a 3-3 draw away against Leeds United.

Speaking on social media, one fan said: Salah held himself back there. He really wanted to say his piece on TNT but he knows theres no point now.

"Body language, ladies and gentlemen. Look closely at Salah and Gerrard. They understand everything and respect each other for it," a second said. As a third posted: "Man he's so professional I'd be asking for slots head

And another added: "That interview Salah's going to do when he leaves is going to bang, everything he said in January or whenever he did that interview has proved to be right..."

Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool in the summer, making the announcement during the international break

Salah is set to leave Liverpool in the summer, announcing his decision over the international break. And he might have been hoping to go out with a bang, but has struggled for form.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Gerrard said: "[Hell be] frustrated. Hell be sitting there thinking hed back himself to influence this game and improve proceedings, certainly from an attacking point of view.

Hell be a little bit sad and frustrated. But credit to him because hes just stayed behind there and done some extra running.

In his mind hes already got his mind on Fulham [on Saturday] and hes doing extra work which shows the pro and the mentality that youre dealing with.
