The truth about Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s training field ‘incident’ has been revealed.
Liverpool fans’ focus on their critical Champions League last-16 second leg at home against Paris Saint-Germain was briefly disrupted on Monday when footage of Salah and Alexander-Arnold being separated appeared online. The Reds duo, who could both leave Anfield this summer at the end of their respective contracts, appeared to be arguing about something, with Alexander-Arnold looking particularly unimpressed.
A video of their discussion was captured and posted online, since UEFA allows media outlets access to the first 30 minutes of a team’s practice the day before a European match. Liverpool leads PSG 1-0 after a late smash-and-grab victory in Paris last week, but they’ll need Salah and Alexander-Arnold to perform at their best to advance to the quarter-finals.
Liverpool fans don’t have to worry about a potential fight between the two, since facts of the alleged incident have been released.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Salah and Alexander-Arnold’s training session interaction was light-hearted ribbing between two close team-mates. The pair were also seen laughing and joking after training, with both expected to start against PSG. Salah, 32, has previously described himself as Alexander-Arnold’s ‘big brother,’ while the 26-year-old recently named the Egyptian as his closest team-mate.
“Even though we could so many times, we never moan at each other. We just know each other’s style of play.”
They’ll be aiming to work together on the pitch when Liverpool hosts Paris under the lights at Anfield. Slot told media at his pre-match press conference that his team must deliver their greatest performance of the season.
