And he joked to the rest of the players that nobody would notice if they were nude as everybody was looking at the Egyptian sensation.

Klopp quipped: It is a really good group and, with Mo, everyone really likes the hype around him, all the boys.

When we came out for the Champions League training before Man City, I said, Come on everybody, lets go out naked because no one will realise they are just looking at Mo.

Now we go to Rome. I dont think the hype will be a little bit less. But it is all okay.

The boys created the atmosphere in the group. In a successful team, there is always a good atmosphere. Other teams can have very good players, but no group.

Salah scored the goal that ended any chance of a City comeback at the Etihad after the Reds blew away their rivals.

And the Player of the Year nominee claims his breathtaking season is down to a desire to prove Chelsea wrong.

He told Sky Sports: "I know from the first day I wanted to do something different, something special. I was here with Chelsea, didn't get my chance, and then came back. I wanted to show everyone my football.

"I didn't play. You can see by the numbers. I didn't have my chance, but you can see when I did get my chance I proved some people wrong.

"Because in my mind I have to succeed here, when I left the Premier League I said I'd come back, and when I had the chance, I came.

"You can see the difference [in me] between now, a year before, two years before that. Every year, every day, every month I am proving myself.

"I always try to see my weakness, work on it, to be better as a person and a player, everything."
