Liverpool Stars Salah and Mané Fast During Ramadan, Triumph in Champions League Final

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané played the entire first half of the Champions League final while fasting. And yet, what performances!

For those who thought that fasting and playing major sports competitions do not go hand in hand (and who criticized Hakim Ziyech and Noussair Mazraoui for fasting in the Champions League semi-finals), Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mané both fasted during the final between Tottenham and Liverpool, with the final score being 2-0 for Tottenham.

Mohammed Salah was the first to score, that from the very first minutes of the game (after 1 minute and 48 seconds), on a penalty. The second goal of the match was scored by Divock Origi, in the 87th minute of play.

The media Alnas writes: "He (NDLR: Mo Salah) and Sadio Mané fasted the entire first half, as they are used to doing, never neglecting religion in favor of their professional obligations. Last year they had already fasted in the final against Real Madrid".

However, it is necessary to specify that Ziyech also impressed while fasting and against this same Tottenham team that won the Champions League, during the second leg of the semi-final. The Sofoot website then said: "Technically gifted? Yes. Delicious? Of course. Unlucky? Undoubtedly. Is your character Ziyech? Yes. Thank you Hakimator".

Ziyech scored a goal in the 35th minute of play, to recall. The match ended with a score of 2 to 3 in favor of Tottenham, which was able to go straight to the final because it scored more away goals. In the first leg, Ajax had won one to zero.
