Mo Salah has really been on fire this season, the question is; does he play like Ronaldo or like Messi? He has netted 31 goals in all competitions so far, and this has led to comparisons with Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo, Well i think the ex Liverpool defender has said he believes that M. Salah is more like Christiano Ronaldo than he is to Lionel Messi.

For as long as i could remember, Mo Salah has being compared to Lionel Messi long before he joined Liverpool. I know pretty well that Messi is good in anything football, recently the Iran boss made a joke statement that Messi was too good, and so should be banned by FIFA. Messi tops La liga in goals and basically every other statistical section too.

Messi does not only dominates the league's scoring charts which is 23, but he also has the most shots amounting to 147, he has the most dribbles which is about 138 and the most assist about 22, this achievements are leading almost all sections.

While Christiano Ronaldo has 14 La liga goals and 28 across all competitions for Madrid done by his own exceptional standards, Aside form a potential Champions League three peat, Portugal captain, he is also the all time leading scorer and most capped player whom is also targeting World Cup glory. This player has a lot achievements in football.
Could Mo Salah be compared to the level of this two great players in history?
Though Carragher believes that parallels has been drawn between the two players to M. Salah, due to the fact that Salah plays more like a striker than a winger. I know that Salah has the mindset of a prolific striker than a winger. Messi likes to come deeper for the ball and involve himself in the build up.
carragher thinks that Salah fits the C. Ronaldo ways of football better than that of Messi. Obviously Mo Salah cannot be compared to the level of either Messi or Ronaldo, though there are some comparisons on how they play the game of football. I also think Salah has more of Ronaldo's approach to football than that of Messi.
Although probably M. Salah would have preferred or enjoyed to be compared directly to Lionel Messi, but i hope he would not take any offence from caragher's comments. We hope to see M. Salah in action when Liverpool host Newcastle on Saturday.
