Egypt managed to qualify for the first time in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup, after defeating Australia in penalty shootout, regular time and extra time ended in a 1-1 draw. From 11 meters distance, Salah and his friends proved to be perfect as they executed 4 out of 4 penalties correctly.
This success is linked to one of the biggest clubs in the world, Real Madrid. Photos and videos are circulating on social media, showing one of Egypt's coaches showing the Spanish club's laptop video to his players before the penalty shootout.
The video shows Kylian Mbappe taking a penalty against Levante in January this year, while Australia goalkeeper Raja was in goal.
It seems that this was a motivation for the Egyptian footballers who ultimately emerged victorious from the match against Australia.
