Former Real Madrid and Liverpool manager, Rafa Benitez, has insisted that Mohamed Salah is a more complete footballer than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Benitez also insisted that the Portuguese forward is a better finisher than the Egyptian winger.
Salah has recorded 323 goals and 162 assists in 657 appearances across all competitions during his club career and
Ronaldo, on the other hand, is the highest goalscorer of all time with 796 goals and 257 assists in 1057 appearances across competitions in his club career.
Speaking during a segment on the YouTube channel Shoot for Love, Benitez said (via Liverpool’s website): “You talk about attackers, Salah has been consistent for so many years.
“Ronaldo is the greatest maybe finisher, but Salah is more complete.
“At the end, I know where this will finish [Ronaldo vs Messi], so I will go here [with Salah].”
