Some might even say I have a crush on him, but labels don\u2019t matter at this point. So I was wondering what would Mohamed Salah be like if he were originally Lebanese. I asked around and as expected, the responses were nothing less than hilarious.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  1. He would be the Phoenician Emperor instead of the Egyptian King &#8211; <i>@AhmaddOssaily<\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  2. Lebanese people will try to make it very clear on social media that Mohamed Salah is not Arab &#8211; <i>@ahmadf_o<\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/56352.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  3.

He would probably be a lot less athletic because of his <i>arguile<\/i> obsession<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  9. Lebanon will finally make it to the World Cup &#8211; <i>@ahmadf_o<\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  But then\u2026<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  10. Lebanon will crash out of the World Cup and Lebanese people will point all types of fingers at each other  &#8211; <i>@ahmadf_o<\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  11. He would have gotten in a fight with Sergio Ramos after the shoulder injury, while yelling <i>shaklak ma bta3rif ma3 meen 3am tehke<\/i> <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  12. He would celebrate his goals and awards with fireworks and gunshots &#8211; <i>@ahmaddossaily<\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  Although Mohamed Salah is commonly known for being humble and down to Earth<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  13. <i>Ken aktar insen sheyef halo, ken fakkar halo l ossa kella<\/i> &#8211; <i>@KamelTabbara<\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  14.
