However, Mo Salah's form has dropped off, having been unable to score a goal in his last 4 Premier League games.

Despite a dip in form recently, Liverpool's right winger believes he is better than any other footballer currently in his position.

'If you compare me with any player in my position, not only in my team but in the world, you will find that I am the best,' Salah told beIN SPORTS, via Goal.
'I always focus on my work and do my best and my numbers are the best proof of my words.
Mohamed Salah has no doubt that he is "the best player in his position," the Liverpool told BeIN Sports ahead of their FA Cup final clash against Chelsea.
'I like to always create a new challenge for me, to work in a different way and to make a difference and that is my duty.'

Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher is the latest Liverpool fan to delve into the debate on who between Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah is better.

Despite the Liverpool duo enjoying an otherwise cordial relationship, football fans remain divided on who between the two is actually better.

While Salah has been in hot form this term, the Premier League top scorer has endured a somewhat rough patch in recent weeks.

Mane, on the other hand, has continued his impressive run, with the Senegalese scoring crucial goals for the Jurgen Klopp-tutored side.

Mohamed Salah Fires a Warning Shot At Real Madrid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mohamed Salah has reacted to Real Madrid’s shock qualification to the UEFA Champions League final. Real Madrid put in a scintillating display to knock out Manchester City in a thrilling match at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Manchester City were pretty comfortable the entire game and with Riyad Mahrez further extending their lead, many expected an-all English affair in the final. But Carlo Ancelotti's charges had other ideas.

The Los Blancos have now set a date with Liverpool in the final.
