The eyes of the footballing world were on Anfield on Tuesday night as Mohamed Salah inspired the Reds to a 5-2 victory in a remarkable semi-final first leg against his former club Roma. “But without a shadow of a doubt, he’s the best player on the planet right now”. He is becoming the superstar. “It looks easy what he does but it is very hard”, Lovren told United Kingdom newspapers.

Salah previously also played for El Mokawloon, Basel, Chelsea and Fiorentina.
And to help him and his family out, they’ve set up a GoFundMe page. “Hopefully he can stay injury free”.
“I think you still need to end up with one or two trophies with your club [to be classed the world’s best]”. At this rate, the Ballon D’Or could be his next year.
And Souness has called for Salah to be handed the Ballon d’Or if Liverpool are crowned European champions for the sixth time this season.
“But I am already, to be 100 per cent honest, in the Stoke game”.
Salah has now scored 43 goals for Liverpool since his £34 million (S$62.8 million) move from Roma last June, more than any other player in Europe.
Liverpool will rue their missed chances and poor late defending, but remain well on course for a first final in 11 years.”Since I arrived Liverpool always had to take a slightly more hard way, but, in the end, mostly still a successful way and that’s what we will try in Roma”, said Klopp.
“We know we can score goals but we have to do it there and we must try not to concede because that will give them more confidence”, admitted Liverpool’s Georginio Wijnaldum.
As it stands now, however, Ronaldo remains the overwhelming favourite as he looks to spearhead Real Madrid’s mission to win the Champions League for the third year running (and fourth in five years). “With our attack, I am not even anxious”.

Alexander-Arnold (pictured) is well aware Roma turned around their quarter-final against Barcelona, losing the first leg 4-1 at the Nou Camp but winning 3-0 in Italy. “They have also scored 40-odd goals this year, but you have to win trophies”, he added.
