Mohamed Salah told his Egypt team-mates that they would get "revenge" on Senegal in the immediate aftermath of Sunday's clash between the two sides.
Salah was eventually on the losing side in the Africa Cup of Nations final, with his Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane scoring the winning penalty in his nation's shootout success.
Liverpool forward Salah was clearly upset after the game on the field and he could be seen having a cordial discussion with Mane and other Senegal players.
