Mohamed Salah has again taken to social media to share a sweet photo showing him spending Christmas with his family - and as usual it has provoked plenty of reaction. As a proud Muslim man, Liverpool star Salah's yearly decision to post a picture with his wife and two daughters at Christmas - this time once again in matching pyjamas - often draws criticism from some, but he sees the gesture as a show of respect.
Soon to enter his eighth year at Liverpool, Salah and wife Magi have brought up daughters Makka, 10, and Kayan, 4, in a predominantly Christian country, and as the girls have grown used to experiencing Christmas, Salah wants to ensure that they get to enjoy it as they learn about other faiths.
Salah's post on Christmas Day showed the family sitting in front of a Christmas tree with an oversized gingerbread man, with the four of them looking as though they had all been enjoying their time together. It was liked by several Liverpool stars past and present including Jordan Henderson, Dejan Lovren, Fabinho, Kostas Tsimikas, Harvey Elliott, Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo.
However the comments section of both Instagram and Twitter/X posts were quickly flooded with both positive and negative takes, with a theory also suggested that both Liverpool - who are currently top of the Premier League and Champions League tables - and Salah apparently lose form shortly after the Egyptian posts his annual message.
