Salah’s explosive interview and the quote that stunned everyone
Mohamed Salah publicly accused Liverpool of treating him unfairly in an interview given at Elland Road following the 3 3 draw with Leeds. He said he felt the club had “thrown me under the bus” and described deep frustration after being left among the substitutes for the third game in a row. The tone and content of the interview mark a dramatic shift from the largely private player manager disagreements that usually stay behind closed doors.
He said his relationship with the manager has gone
Salah stated that he used to have a good relationship with manager Arne Slot but now that relationship is effectively over. He made clear he did not understand why the breakdown happened and suggested the change in treatment felt sudden and personal. For a player of his standing at the club this was a striking admission.
The context behind the remarks
The interview came after Salah had been named on the bench for three straight matches. He reflected on promises he believed were made during the summer and said that being benched contradicted those assurances. Fans and pundits immediately began questioning whether this marks the beginning of a broader squad or management crisis.
Key quotes and what they mean for Liverpool
Salah said that someone appeared to want him out of the club and he indicated that being scapegoated felt like a betrayal. He stressed his love for the supporters while making clear that his treatment by some within the club had left him deeply hurt. That emotional honesty will almost certainly increase pressure on both the manager and the board.
