AS Roma was drawn with Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final, and the Italian outfit have immediately contacted one of their former players.
Prior to the official Friday’s draw, the club gave fans the chance to buy tickets for a home European game against Liverpool. A few hours later, the Romans and Liverpool were paired.
While defending champions Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich.
A soon the Italians knew the next opponent, they reached out to Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian, a £36 million signing by the Reds, has notched 39 goals across all competitions.
Even if he continues his prolific form in Europe, Roma has promised to remain friends for life.
We’ll be opponents for 180 minutes, but whatever happens we’ll remain friends for life. Looking forward to seeing you again, @22mosalah! 👋#ASRoma #UCL #RomaLiverpool pic.twitter.com/eo0Rm4VWW9
