Salah’s Misstep Dimms Liverpool’s FA Cup Quest as City Rules the Quarter-Final
4 April 2026
Match narrative and Salah’s penalty miss
Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's talisman, deepened his team's frustration in the ongoing FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City.
Trailing by four goals, the Reds faced a steep climb as City closed in on another trophy.
Liverpool earned a penalty in the 65th minute, with Salah stepping up, only for Manchester City's goalkeeper to deny the effort.
Salah later announced he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, even though his contract runs through 2027.
Liverpool have drifted away from the battle for the Premier League title this season, and they were also eliminated from the English League Cup. They still hope to defend their chances in the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
