Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah expressed strong statements defending his football status, saying he is the best player in the world in his position. The Egyptian international is close to winning the Golden Boot in the Premier League, while he boasts the highest number of assists in the Premier League, leading to 35 goals in 34 matches played. Salah was recently awarded the title of Best Player by the English Critics' Association and has the opportunity to make history with Liverpool by winning the League Cup, as well as having chances to win the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
He stated, "If you compare me to any player in my position, not just in my team but in the world, you will find that I am the best." He added, "I always focus on my work and doing my best, and my numbers prove my words." He continued, "I always love to create a new challenge for myself, work differently, and make a difference; that is my duty."
Before his team's match against Real Madrid in the Champions League final, a rematch of the 2018 final where Real won 3-1, Salah referred to the match as "a time for revenge." He said, "Yes, we lost in the final, and that was a sad day for all of us, but yes, I think this is a time for revenge."
