Mo Salah meets his perfect replica

During a private viewing, Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah expressed amazement and delight at the unveiling of his waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London. Gushing over the lifelike portrayal, Salah exclaimed, “That looks exactly like me, it is like I am looking into the mirror!”

 

The Egyptian forward couldn’t hide his excitement as he stood alongside the wax figure, marveling at the attention to detail. “I couldn’t believe it when I stood alongside ‘me,’ it’s like gazing at my own image in a mirror,” Salah shared, clearly impressed by the realism.

 

Salah cheekily checked whether the waxwork accurately replicated his famous abs, adding a playful touch to the unveiling. “Is it a real set of abs?” he quipped.

Tim Waters, the general manager of Madame Tussauds London, highlighted Salah’s significance in the football world, stating, “Mo Salah is one of the game’s greats, arguably the best in the world right now, and incredibly deserving of a Madame Tussauds London figure.”

 

Salah, who has been a standout player for Liverpool since his return four years ago, played a pivotal role in the club’s 2020 Premier League title victory. The wax figure captures Salah’s iconic goal celebration pose, arms raised, commemorating his remarkable goal-scoring record at Anfield.

 

Dressed in the cream suit featured on the cover of GQ Middle East magazine, Salah’s waxwork encapsulates the footballer’s style and achievements. The unveiling precedes Liverpool’s upcoming match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Salah and manager Jurgen Klopp leading the team in this highly anticipated clash.
