Mohamed Salah experienced two very disappointing moments with the Egyptian national team in the span of 2 months. Firstly, at the beginning of February, Egypt painfully lost to the Senegal national team in the African Cup of Nations final, only after an 11-m penalty shootout. Then, on Tuesday, the Egyptian national team lost their ticket to the World Cup against Senegal, again after an 11-m penalty shootout. Team leader Mohamed Salah did not even get a chance to take a penalty kick in the African Cup of Nations final, and his shot in the qualification final was inaccurate. "Liverpool" striker was even distracted by lasers present in the stadium, but the task remained unfulfilled. After the match, M. Salah told his teammates a speech that raised doubts about his future with the national team. "Regardless of whether I will remain in the national team after recent events or not, I want to say that it was an honor to play with you," said the team's leader. So far, Salah's greatest achievement with the national team was in 2018 when Egypt qualified for the World Cup.
