Salah was voted the best player of the match early this morning with his superb performance. He scored the opening two goals for the "Red Devils" before making two more accurate passes for his teammates to score.
Currently, the Egyptian striker has 43 goals in all competitions, 4 goals behind the legendary Ian rush. Salah has now at least four more games this season to level and even break rush's record to become Liverpool's top scorer in a single season.
"There is no doubt that he is the best player on the planet," former midfielder Steven Gerrard shared.
A series of newspapers today praised Salah and talked about his records. But the phrase "the best on the planet" at this time is more accurate and it fully reflects the excellence that Salah is performing.
Coach Jurgen Klopp has had to praise his student too much this season, but when he saw Salah play brilliantly against AS Roma, the German strategist could not hide his inner beauty, although his words were still very cautious.
"In that performance, he was really excellent, although Salah still had some weaknesses when playing defensively. I like all the players in the club but looking at the opening goal, it has touched the level of a genius. Salah has done many similar things this season.
If someone says that the club's mistake was for Roma to score 2 goals after leading 5-0, I accept that. Luckily Salah is not injured and right now, we started thinking about the match against Stoke at the weekend.
If you think Salah is the best player in the world, write about him. Salah is an excellent player but to be the best player in the world, he has had to do the same thing for a long time. Two others (R Ronaldo and Messi) have done that," Klopp said.
With a 5-2 result in the first leg, Liverpool are holding a big advantage before the second leg in Italy. However, Barca also led Roma 4-1 and lost 0-3 in the second leg, thereby being eliminated at Olimpico. Certainly, Liverpool will not be subjective.
The second leg of the semi-final between the two teams will take place at 1:45 a.m. on March 3 (Vietnam time).
