His scorching goalscoring record has been the primary driving element behind Liverpool’s bid for a historic quadruple. The club is now in the process of attempting to achieve.

Salah made news not so long ago for stating that he is in a better position than everyone else in his position. He said on BeIN Sports:

“If you compare me to any other player in the world who plays my position, not just those on my squad, you will discover that I am the best.”

What did Carlo Ancelotti say?

Ancelotti has commented on the comments made by the 29-year-old player by stating that the player is, in fact, correct in his evaluation. The Italian individual said to the reporters, as reported by Evening Standard:

“Salah has said that he is the finest in the world at what he does. I believe that he is correct. I share his viewpoint. Yes, he is the finest in the world at what he does, but only in his position.”

Additionally, he leads the battle for the Golden Boot in the Premier League with 22 goals. He also leads the league in assists with 13 for the season. Following his nomination for the current campaign, the attacker who formerly played for Chelsea and AS Roma is now working toward winning his second PFA Player of the Year title.

Salah was awarded the trophy for the last time for his record-breaking 32 goals scored in the English Premier League during the 2017–18 season. It was also his first season playing for Liverpool.

Latest Liverpool News: Karim Benzema of Real Madrid leads the race for the Ballon d’Or, while Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is in second

The assertion that Salah is the finest player at his position comes at a time when the competition for the Ballon d’Or in 2022 is heating up.

Even while many people would agree that the Egyptian is one of the favorites, he is not quite as good as Karim Benzema, who plays for Real Madrid.

With 44 goals scored in 44 games across all competitions, the Frenchman is now in the lead among the other contenders.

His incredible play was a big reason why Real Madrid won the La Liga championship. Through his outstanding play in the knockout rounds, he was also instrumental in the team’s advancement to the Champions League.

It’s interesting to note that Benzema is also the top scorer in both tournaments, with 27 and 15, respectively, to his name.

Both he and Salah will square off against each other in the final of the Champions League on May 28. The winner of the tournament is also a strong candidate for the Ballon d’Or award.
