Liverpool vs Roma: Kostas Manolas issues major warning to Mohamed Salah
Salah faces former club Roma for the first time since moving to Liverpool for around £37million last summer but is unlikely to receive a warm welcome from his pals.
“He’s a great player and a good friend, we often speak on the phone,” Manolas told UEFA.com.
“I congratulate him for what he’s done this season, but I and my teammates will give our all to stop him and the other Liverpool players.
“It doesn’t happen every day, being in a Champions League semi-final, so we won’t lack for concentration.”
Liverpool are favourites to win the Champions League tie against Roma and Manolas is aware of the threat Jurgen Klopp’s side possess.
“Liverpool are a great team who play attacking football, have quick players and fight from the first minute to the last,” the Greek defender said.
“As I said, it’ll be a very difficult match, but it was against Barcelona too. Nothing is impossible if we believe.”
