Alberto Moreno makes Ramadan offer to Liverpool team-mate Mo Salah ahead of Champions League final against Real Madrid
MO SALAH has been too tasty for all-comers this season as Liverpool reached the Champions League final in style.
But the goal-machine will be fasting for Ramadan when the showpiece against Real Madrid in Kiev arrives on May 26.
Luckily for the Reds and Salah, team-mate Alberto Moreno believes he has found the perfect solution to what might be seen as an intriguing situation.
Double player-of-the year-Salah will observe the religious festival from May 14 to June 14, where Muslims go without food or liquids from dawn until sunset.
Left-back Moreno told Spanish radio station El Transistor: "I think Salah trains at 20 per cent because he's scared of injuring himself.
"Now it's Ramadan, I'll eat and drink for him, that's something I can do!"
Egyptian superstar Salah, 25, has just won the PFA (players) and FWA (writers) annual awards.
So far this season he he notched 43 goals and 13 assists
But he had a quiet night at his former club Roma on Wednesday night as Liverpool made it to the final with 7-6 aggregate victory despite the 4-2 loss on the night.
Moreno added: "Salah's an incredible guy. He's having an extraordinary year."
Meanwhile, the Spaniard himself is dreaming of an unlikely but glorious finale to the campaign on a personal level.
The former Sevilla star is now very much second choice behind sturdy Scot Andrew Robertson on the left of Liverpool's four-man defence.
But Moreno still hopes he can break into the side for the clash against Real.
He said: "We have a great squad and we're going to fight for the Champions League.
"You have to tell Klopp to put me in the final! Every player wants to play. I lost my first-team place because of injury.

"But now is not the time for that. Now is something to enjoy."
But he does NOT want to play against Real's five-time world player of the year.
Asked if he could take any player out Los Blancos' line-up, Moreno answered: "That's easy — Cristiano Ronaldo."
