CAIRO – 24 May 2018: Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo praised Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah assuring that he had a brilliant season with Liverpool but insisted that they are not similar.

Ronaldo had an interview with BT Sport ahead of the two teams' encounter in the UEFA Champions League final which will take place in Kiev on Saturday night.

The reporter didn’t hold back and asked the five-time Ballon D’Or winner if he sees any similarities between him and the Egyptian King.

"He is completely different. He plays with the left; I play with the right. I'm tall and he's a little bit shorter; I play with the head. We are completely different," he said.

"People want to compare me with other players but I'm different from everyone. Salah is different but I have to say he has had a fantastic Champions League, a fantastic league season, but Saturday, let's see," FIFA 2017 Best Player concluded.



Salah’s 44 goals this season with Liverpool were enough to give him 36 individual awards. He is one step away from achieving a new goal for himself and his team; a Champions League’s title would be decisive in claiming the Ballon D’Or award.

However, it is obvious that Salah is not a fan of comparisons too as he shared the same point of view with Ronaldo when he had an interview with Amr Adib at ON E Egyptian Channel.

Amr Adib: People always like to rank players and to know who the first, second and third players are and so on. Do comparisons with Ronaldo and Messi bother you?

Salah: Not at all. But I don’t want to say that I am happy with these kinds of comparisons, because each of them was at the top level for 10 or 11 years. Their performance level is stable. I need to maintain my high performance level for many seasons. I hope I can do so. Definitely, they are great players.
