Mohamed Salah's wife was as surprised as the rest of Anfield when the Egyptian star missed a penalty in Liverpool's victory over Real Madrid, as she was caught on camera reacting to his scuffed strike.
The two European giants faced off in the Champions League on Wednesday night in a repeat of the 2018 and 2022 finals but the Reds looked a class above their Spanish opponents.
Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo were on target for Arne Slot's men, who are enjoying a dream first season under the Dutchman, leading both the Premier League and Champions League standings.
And, despite Kylian Mbappe seeing his penalty saved by Caoimhin Kelleher when the score was still 1-0, Madrid never really looked like taking anything from the game as their poor form in Europe continued.
The scoreline could have made even better reading for the Reds as Salah won a penalty himself minutes later with a jinking run that bamboozled Ferland Mendy, only to miss the resulting spot-kick.
The 32-year-old had scored six penalties in a row before Wednesday's poor attempt, last missing against Tanzania in January, and his wife Magi was as shocked as anyone when he stabbed the ball wide of the left-hand post.
The forward, 32, conducted a rare chat with Mail Sport and a small group of other reporters after scoring twice in the 3-2 victory at Southampton, where he said he was 'more out than in' and criticized the club.
Addressing his contract stand-off, Salah said: 'We are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club.
'I'm probably more out than in. You know I have been in the club for many years.
'There is no club like this. But in the end, it is not in my hands. As I said, it is December and I haven't received anything yet about my future.
'I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end, it is not in my hands or the fans' hands.'
