Best player in Africa for the past year Mohamed Salah will compete in the UEFA Champions League final for Liverpool. This striker is causing a fever on social networks in Africa, including many Real Madrid fans.
In an interview with BBC, Mr. Aminu Mai-unguwa - Chelsea's loyal fan expressed: "I believe in Salah, his team will succeed in the next match to win the trophy. I think he is better than Messi and Ronaldo combined, If his team faces Chelsea, I will still support him.
Although he is a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, the South African Twitter account Luvo Mahlulos wrote: Mo Salah is the best player in all of Africa! I am a huge Ronaldo fan but honestly I like Africans winning the Ballon d'Or more.
Mr. Nangoye Isaac Edwin - Liverpool fan also supported Liverpool when answering BBC interview: "If Real Madrid wins, it will be a series of championships. So what is the better way to prevent them from winning the championship for the third consecutive time? Mo Salah is a gentleman".
However, there are still Real Madrid fans who are steadfast in their feelings: C Cristiano Ronaldo will never leave the field empty-handed. This is when you see him at his best, so I believe Real Madrid will win the championship.
Nigeria sports analyst Alisu Musa commented: Mohamed Salah is a special player representing Africa even though he is not the only African to play in the UEFA Champions League final. However, he certainly covered his colleague Sadio Mane's ball."
Salah is receiving support from the majority of Africans ahead of the match against Real Madrid. He is a source of hope and a model for young people across this continent. Several streets have been named after Salah, while a school in the Egyptian city of Basyoun has his name.
