A dodgy Mohamed Salah statue was displayed at the World Youth Forum in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on Sunday and has since come in for merciless ridicule.
Egyptian sculptor Mia Abdel Allah says she accepts criticism of her artwork, telling the state-run Al-Ahram Online “bronze did not do it justice”.
In scenes reminiscent of the Cristiano Ronaldo statue unveiling at Madeira airport, Twitter wags came out in force.
