CAIRO — A heartbroken Egypt shared a rare moment of unity on Sunday: An outpouring of sympathy and love for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, and loathing for Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos. The Egypt forward was hurt Saturday when he tangled with Ramos, who grabbed Salah chasing the ball and held on to his right arm. Your love and support will give me the strength I need,” Salah told fans in a tweet Sunday night. “To us Egyptians, Mohamed Salah is not just a footballer, he’s everyone’s dream,” tweeted a fan on Saturday night. He said that “Mohamed Salah proves Egyptians, when given the opportunity and right context, can be both successful and creative.”——Hendawi reported from Baghdad.
