Mo Salah left in tears after playing for just half an hour during Liverpool’s Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday.
The Egyptian star, who was instrumental in the Reds’ blitz to the Kiev final, injured his shoulder during a clash with Sergio Ramos.
Despite attempting to play on, the 25-year-old broke down in tears as he left the pitch to be replaced by Adam Lallana.
The injury came as a blow for Liverpool fans, having seen their team last win the Champions League in 2005.
Fans cried with Salah as he left the field.
I am heartbroken that Mo Salah is injured. I would have been alright with Liverpool getting beaten, but I genuinely can't handle this 😭

Salah is out and he is in tears. Aw man I am heartbroken for the lad. He deserves to play the whole 90 minutes more than any other player in both of the squads.

People were touched to see Ronaldo console his rival, many noting that the Portuguese himself was in a similar situation during the Euro 2016 final when he sustained a knee injury during the game.
Best part is Ronaldo came to console Salah before he left the field. Small moment but worth crediting it #UCLfinal

Touch of class from Ronaldo to console Salah going off injured. Huge miss for Liverpool but they can still beat Real. #UCLfinal

Fair play to #Ronaldo, it was classy of him to console #Salah as he went off. After the final of Euro 2016, I'm sure Ronaldo understands what Salah is going through. #RonaldovsSalah #ChampionsLeagueFinal2018 #LiverpoolVsRealMadrid

No a Liverpool fan but man am I sad for Salah. Incredible season and if that forces him out of the World Cup its truly heartbreaking.

I am terribly sad that Salah is off. And am a hardcore RM fan.

Even though I am supporting Real Madrid, it's sad to see Mo Salah leave the pitch with an injury.

Fans are hoping Salah will be back with his magic as he plays for Egypt during the World Cup in a few weeks’ time.
I am gutted by @MoSalah 's injury! I hope he recovers well before the 2018 @FIFAWorldCup #UCLFinal

To say I am gutted for Mo Salah is putting it mildly. This is the cruel part of sport. Hopefully he can go to the World Cup #UCLFinal2018 #RMALIV
