Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is in great form this season. At the same time, his team is also moving towards winning the title. Salah’s understanding with his teammates is great. But surprisingly, the Egyptian star doesn’t have a favorite footballer among his Argentinian club teammates. Rather, his beloved footballer is another.
Who is Salah’s favorite footballer in Argentina? ESPN Argentina went to find the answer to this question. When Salah was asked about his favorite footballer midway through the match between Liverpool and Man City, the Egyptian star clarified, ‘Messi, I love Messi.’
Although everyone thought Salah would name the club’s Argentinian team-mate Alexis McAllister. But love him too, but put Messi above everyone else as the hero to push Liverpool forward this season. Also mentions former striker Gabriel Batistuta.
‘Apart from McAllister… Messi, I love Messi. Messi is compared to himself. Messi is Messi. I also like Batistuta, I met him once in Argentina. I was there and he autographed a jersey for me,’ added Salah.
Liverpool have 8 matches left in the Premier League. Liverpool, who are currently at the top of the points table, want to win all and take the title. Also, the Anfield team wants to give coach Jurgen Klopp a farewell gift.
Liverpool’s current points are 70. Arsenal are behind them with two points less and Manchester City in third with three points less. As a result, the remaining matches for the three teams have become like finals. And Salah has to play a key role in this fight.
Salah, however, is playing a role from the front. He has scored 16 goals in the Premier League so far this season. Only Chelsea’s Cole Palmer has scored as many goals. Only Man City’s Norwegian star Arling Haaland is ahead.
