Daniel Sturridge notices what Mo Salah was up to before Liverpool’s clash with Man City.

Daniel Sturridge noticed Mohamed Salah’s pre-match behavior before Liverpool’s game against Manchester City. Salah, 32, was part of Arne Slot’s starting lineup for the high-stakes clash at Anfield on Sunday. However, it was his unusual “pre-match ritual” that caught the former England striker’s attention.

As cameras in the Anfield tunnel captured moments before kickoff, Salah was seen crouched away from his teammates. Sturridge, analyzing the scene alongside Micah Richards and Roy Keane, explained, “He’s probably meditating – he does that before matches.” The trio even joked about Salah possibly thinking about his contract situation.

Salah quickly made an impact on the pitch, assisting Cody Gakpo’s opener in the 12th minute. Interestingly, he isn’t the only one at Liverpool with a unique ritual. Manager Arne Slot reportedly avoids looking at the clock at exactly 13:13, considering it an unlucky number. Coincidentally, Liverpool currently doesn’t have a player wearing the number 13 jersey.

While Salah’s performances continue to shine, his contract situation remains uncertain. His current deal expires on June 30, 2025. After last weekend’s 3-2 victory over Southampton, Salah expressed frustration, admitting he is “probably more out than in” regarding his future at the club. Despite the uncertainty, Salah remains focused on winning the Premier League and Champions League this se
