Fans have taken to their social media accounts to mock Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar over his sentiments about his counterpart from Egypt, Mohamed Salah in the wake of Thursday's result in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final
Prior to Thursday's meeting, the Indomitable Lions skipper had stated he was not impressed by the Liverpool star. However, Salah later replied to him by helping the Pharaohs get past Cameroon at the Paul Biya Stadium in Yaounde.
Neither team could score in regulation or extra time and in the penalty shootout that followed, Egypt claimed a 3-1 win to set a date with Senegal in Sunday's final while Cameroon will play Burkina Faso in the third-place playoff on Saturday.
The majority of the fans did not spare Aboubakar from criticism for his sentiments regarding Salah and we have compiled a list with the best of them.

Probably Vincent Aboubakar wants to play mind games before their match against Egypt. It boomerang. The god of football don't want nonsense.— 𝔻𝕖ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜 (@DeRockOfficial) February 4, 2022
Vincent Aboubakar must come to the premier league, I want to see something— tiri (@TirivasheGapara) February 4, 2022
Vincent Aboubakar gave an iconic performance at the #AFCON2021 and would have been celebrated despite crashing out of the tournament with Cameroon but he decided to be unfortunate with his unprofessional media criticism of Mo'Salah who is way ahead of his league.— Michael_Ehis (@Ijies_M_E) February 4, 2022

Mohammed Salah has been wallpaper this tournament though. Even outshone by Egypt's team goalie so Vincent Aboubakar is right in my opinion. I've always said Salah is more a club player. In Egypt's national team, he almost fades into the background. #AFCON2021#CAN2021 #TeamEgypt— M. Mpofana ⛔ (@MthokodaMpofana) February 4, 2022
If not because football is a fair sport that brings all classes of players together, Vincent Aboubakar should never be playing on the same pitch with Salah, football gave him the privilege. Unknown player talking rubbish about a World Class personality. pic.twitter.com/yjJfy7rFt0— OONI OF ABUJA🔴 (@Deji_OoniAbj) February 4, 2022

I don’t get why everyone is on his case. He prefers Mbappe who is arguably a bigger talent than Salah. Obviously he’s understanding the sheer drive and will of Salah but he lost on penalties. Salah wasn’t better than he was in the game. People who don’t really watch other leagues think everyone who plays outside of the EPL isn’t great. I’m guessing baby never even knew of aboubakar before this tournament. He’s a really good player. Pretty much like Mane for his position

the left back for Cameroon should be applauded for he didn't allow sallah to make even a move

Can the writer of this post or all those who "slammed" Aboubakar tell me what Sallah did in the match against Cameroon to impress them? This guy just gave his opinion and I agree with him that Sallah does not impress him, proof he played jackshit yesterday. A nobody player named Nohou pockected Sallah during that match and you guys call him impressive? What a joke!!!

Mbappe is bigger than Salah are you serious 😂😂😂
he told Mbappe is a bigger talwnt than Salah which is true, Mbappe was world wide talk when he was 19 and wom world Cup and destroyed top nations alone, I love Salah too but he hit his top form at 28 ans came to the limelight, at 19 Salah was playing in Egypt's streets not in the world Cup Or even epl Or even Ligue 1 so don't be like another liverpool fan with no sense

shut ur mouth if you don't know what to say
salah isn't impressive for Egypt, that was the whole point. salah is a great player but he doesn't perform very well with Egypt while aboubakar always performa for Cameroon. you love salah, that's okay, even I love him too, but the point of impression was regarding national team.
