It's only by merit that Salah makes comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
This is a player who scored a record 32 goals in the Premier League when he returned to England after a short pbad to Chelsea.
He rewarded Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva as the PFA Player of the Year, before placing third in the FIFA World Player Ranking of the year.
Throughout the year 2018, only his opponents Robert Lewandowski, Ronaldo and Messi scored more goals than his 37.
C & # 39; is an attacker who does not even play only in the middle.
Certainly, his role within Jurgen Klopp has evolved since the beginning of this season, which saw him take a more central position.
But it produces the figures of a traditional traditional purpose. It's misleading.
What is even more frightening is that even if the numbers are numerous, Salah misses a lot of chances.
There is an art and elegance in the positions that he takes, how he anticipates where the ball might fall. An instinct that can not be taught is second nature.
And yet, after almost every show, you can not help but wonder if Salah could have scored two more goals, though he had already scored.

This was described as the best in his league debut for the Reds 18 months ago, a 3-3 frenzy against Watford at Vicarage Road in which he could have scored five or six.
He scored a goal that he was scarcely allowed to score, joining a defender to get the ball home.
Salah's performance against Bayern is the perfect example that shows that with the Egyptian, you have to face the rough with the smooth.
He sometimes had trouble controlling the ball, but whenever he owned it, you could hear the pause anticipating that something would happen.
With Salah, you're never really sure what he's going to do and that unpredictability is a rare brilliance, but there's no consistency.

When he dances inside the right, he tries to work half a meter with a jink or an angle that he can use to his advantage.
The result can be devastating, as in the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Rome not long ago, when he ran a fine ahead of teammate Alisson.
It is not often that this happens and it is there that there is a difference.
How many times have you seen Messi put the postage stamp on the ball? It's much more often than not.
Salah's movement is exceptional and David Alaba could not afford to spend the night in Anfield.

There was a brief moment in the first period when the striker went past Bayern's defense and Jordan Henderson found it with a failed pbad.
Salah did not manage to catch a clean connection to disturb Manuel Neuer.
That would have almost been a true copy of Ronaldo's goal against Manchester United in the group stage, a finish that made it seem so simple.
Then there was a skilful and well-crafted touch of Salah who almost saw Joel Matip open the scoring in the first half.
He may have missed the best opportunity to break the stalemate when he escaped Trent Alexander-Arnold's jokes.

After an interval that was not much prettier, there was a misplaced pbad to Roberto Firmino, which caused a roar of frustration on the part of Kop.
He also failed to control the ball on the sideline after Andy Robertson got into the goal before hitting the first man from a corner in the 80th minute.
And that's what separates it from the top, from the top slice. He is sometimes awkward, clumsy and frustrating, but he will always keep in his locker a flash of control able to separate the teams. That's what makes it unique.
The match itself implored a hero, a person who could take the game by the throat. Something we've seen Ronaldo and Messi do over and over.
Tuesday was a quiet night of Salah, but you'd be crazy to dismiss him at the Allianz Arena or Old Trafford on Sunday.
