Last night, a premium showdown as two of Egypt’s finest, Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, faced off at Man City’s Etihad Stadium. We’re used to seeing these two kings link up for the national team, but watching them go toe-to-toe in the Premier League? Yeah, that just hits different.

The Handshake That Shook the Timeline

Before kickoff, Salah and Marmoush shared a handshake and a pat on the back, but fans were like, “Where’s the airport hug we’ve been waiting for?!” Don’t worry, though—the real brotherly moment? Probably saved for behind the scenes (and thankfully, the cameras caught it).

Salah Had the Defense Doing Laps

While the world had its eyes on the Egyptian kings, Salah reminded everyone why he’s the Pharaoh of the pitch. The way he had defenders spinning? Someone check Google Maps—because they were lost. That was a full-on kobry and it had Twitter in flames.

Liverpool Fans Finally Breathe

Beyond the Egyptian battle, Liverpool fans had another reason to celebrate. After 10 years of waiting, they finally saw their team win a Premier League game at the Etihad. That’s a whole decade of heartbreak lifted in 90 minutes!
