Salah holds the record that Messi will never be able to, even though he won the Ballon d’Or.
Even though Lionel Messi is the clear winner of the Ballon d’Or award, there will be controversy surrounding this player and the trophy, which many would assume belongs to Manchester City’s star player, Erik Haaland. The reason for this is that, despite the Argentine player’s recognition, Inter Miami’s component cannot fully defeat Mohamed Salah, who has been unfairly valued for this award.
Messi is undoubtedly among the greatest players Barcelona and Spain have ever produced, but the Argentinean cannot match Salah, who has been competing in the Premier League—the world’s best league—for just over six years. Salah is far more skilled and has achieved countless records that make him one of the most valuable players in England.
Although in terms of records at club level it is true that Messi is a few ahead of Mohamed Salah, in terms of being the league’s top player in European competitions is a merit and a mark that Messi took a long time to achieve with Barcelona, as Mo’in six years has achieved what Messi did in 17 seasons with the Culés.
With just six years and a couple of months as a Reds player, Salah already holds the record of being the second highest goalscorer in his institution, being Roger Hunt today with 446 goals, being these figures far superior to those in Barcelona, as the blaugranas had Cesar Rodriguez as their best net breaker with 230 goals, a mark that Mo’ would have easily surpassed, taking Messi almost eight seasons to surpass his maximum reference in Barcelona.
Salah is the madam of the Premier League Â
No one denies that Messi’s marks are impressive and sign of an outstanding player in modern football, but neither can it be hidden that Salah in less time belonging to a top league has done things in an exceptional way, having a very constant rhythm that can take him to bigger marks, of course, this is if he decides to stay in the Reds and reject those millionaire offers in which players like Messi himself fell into in the MLS.
