Mo Salah makes emotional statement after Liverpool "failed" in Champions League pursuit

Mohamed Salah has said it is "too soon" for a message of positivity after Liverpool's failure to qualify for the Champions League was confirmed.

Jurgen Klopp's side still had an outside shot at a top four finish before rivals Manchester United took on Chelsea on Thursday night. However, a 4-1 win for United ensured Liverpool cannot catch them and finish in the Premier League's top four.

"I’m totally devastated," Salah wrote on social media. "There’s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year’s Champions League and we failed. We are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. I am sorry but it’s too soon for an uplifting or optimistic post. We let you and ourselves down."
