MO SALAH is used to the roar of the red wall of the Kop — so it is no surprise he looks at home on the red carpet at the Time 100 Gala.
And Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke kept up the red theme with a stunning dress as she posed with the Egypt and Liverpool icon.

The English actress, 32, who stars as ‘Mother of Dragons’ Daenerys Targaryen in the epic fantasy TV series, grinned with the star-struck forward in New York as the final season airs around the world.
Salah, 26, also posed with Mr Robot and Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek, who also has Egyptian heritage.
Malek’s parents were Egyptian immigrants to the United States, before they settled in California and their son went on to become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors.
But Salah is arguably Egypt’s most famous export since Cleopatra, influencing the world of football and is the world’s most famous Muslim athlete.
The Time 100 Gala is one of the most prestigious awards of the year and Salah has been listed alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Taylor Swift, Lebron James, Sandra Oh and Mark Zuckerberg.
TV host John Oliver said in the magazine: “Mo Salah is a better human being than he is a football player.
“And he’s one of the best football players in the world.
“You’d be hard-pressed to find a professional athlete in any sport less affected by their success or status than Mo, which is incredible because I can’t imagine the kind of pressure that comes with the intensity of adoration he receives.
“Mo is an iconic figure for Egyptians, Scousers and Muslims the world over, and yet he always comes across as a humble, thoughtful, funny man who isn’t taking any of this too seriously.
“As a footballer, he plays with an infectious joy.
“I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to be able to play as well as him, and watching his face light up after he does something incredible, you get the reassuring sense that it’s exactly as fun as you’d want it to be.”
The Reds face Huddersfield on Friday night and will hope fierce rivals Manchester United do them a favour by beating City in tonight’s Manchester derby.
Liverpool are in stunning form as they head into the last three games of the Premier League season two points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s side.
But they face a massive challenge in the last four of the Champions League, where Jurgen Klopp’s men face Barcelona over two legs, with the first game at the Nou Camp on May 1.
And then Lionel Messi and Co head to Anfield for the return leg a week later, to decide who will play in the final in Madrid on June 1.
