It wasnβt easy sailing for the Pharaohs as they needed extra time to secure their berth into the finals of the African continent showpiece with the game still locked at 0-0 after 120 minutes. Salah and his team held their nerve to secure a 3-1 win on penalties and remain on course in their chase for a record-extending eighth African crown.

Sadio Maneβs Senegal was a stark contrast as they needed normal time to beat Burkina Faso and continue their search for their first title.
The question however remains. Who will go back to Anfield as a champion? Whatever the outcome, βYou never walk aloneβ.
