Salah could have broken Danilo's leg! - Porto president blasts Liverpool star

Porto president Pinto da Costa has slammed Mohamed Salah's tackle on Danilo Pereira during his side's Champions League loss to Liverpool on Tuesday.

The Egyptian forward appeared to catch the shin of his opponent during the course of the quarter-final clash at Anfield, which the Primeira Liga side went on to lose 2-0.

Da Costa claimed the Portugal international should be grateful not to leave England with a broken leg after the challenge.

"Danilo should thank God because this is a leg-breaker - trying not to kick the ball," he is quoted as saying by ESPN.
