Many great players at their prime can’t even compare to Ronaldo at 36.

Klopp said Ronaldo is better in everything except with the left foot.
He's comparing Salah who is 7yrs younger which tells you that CR7 is still doing something great.
But for me, Salah should be ashamed of this comparison with a man who is already at his peak.

He started with 'why should we compare'?
That should explain to you he doesn't want such.....He then concluded by saying he is not too interested in such and even apologised with 'sorry'!
Unfortunately,like i explained ab initio,you failed to highlight that part of his statement!
The rest are basically unnecessary because he didn't just admire salah's left foot but CR7's air dominance!


cheesy cheesy
Isnt that exactly what he did when he praised salah's left foot and CR7's dominance in the air?
Na wa for U ohh
Okay... Relax! Klopp is still my man!

I guess I'm getting quite irritated with people's constant need to bring in Ronaldo into every talk about the quality of other players.

This Ole is busy running his mouth like tap instead of him to be worried about the gigantic features he has ahead of him, I BELIEVE HE WILL EVEN BE FIRED AFTER THE LIVERPOOL MATCH BECAUSE WE NEED AN EXPERIENCE COACH
It baffles me that each time I want Man. U to be beaten mercilessly, they always pull surprises.
I've always been saying that Ole isn't tactical enough to win us trophies.

Sorry bro but I was never agitated or uneasy!
His statements were quite explicit about CR7 and how good he is even at 36...maybe you misunderstood his line of thought!
But no probs!

Klopp should not allow himself be drawn into these childish & needless comparisons. He can go ahead & sing the praises of his star player without bringing in any goat into it.
Do not be deceived by the acronym "GOAT". Presently, Salah is a better player all round!

The managers are reluctant to pick between two iconic Premier League players, saying both bring obvious qualities to the table

Jurgen Klopp is reluctant to draw comparisons between Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo, but says the Liverpool man has a better left foot and the Manchester United star is stronger in the air - while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he will "always back" his man.

Two world-class performers are set to lock horns on Sunday at Old Trafford.

The eyes of the world will be on the Premier League battle, but Klopp is wary of picking sides when it comes to performers that boast such obvious qualities.

What has been said?

Asked about the similarities between Salah and Ronaldo, Liverpool boss Klopp said: “Why should we compare? Both are world-class. I would say Mo's left foot is better, Cristiano may be better in the air and with his right foot. Speed-wise, both are quick and desperate to score goals but I'm not too interested in comparing, sorry.”

Salah has scored 12 goals in 11 appearances for Liverpool this season, with a couple of stunning solo efforts leading some to bill him as the best player on the planet.

Ronaldo has enjoyed that standing in the past as a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, and has six efforts to his name for United in 2021-22 – including the dramatic Champions League winner against Atalanta last time out.

What about Solskjaer?

The Man United coach was also asked how he compares Salah and Ronaldo at his press conference, and said: "I’ll always back Cristiano in any competition. He’s unique and his goal scoring record is fantastic. That being said, Salah is on fire at the moment and when you see some of the goals he has scored lately, we know we have to be at our best to defend against him.

"Players like this don’t come around very often and we’ve got to enjoy them when we watch them from afar, but not on Sunday, that’s too close for me.

"We’ve got to do a good job, not just against him. I’m a big admirer of the front line they’ve had for many years now with Mane and Firmino and maybe Jota will play, who knows. They are players you have to focus on and have to be nailed on for 95 mins to keep a clean sheet."

Who are favourites?

While Ronaldo helped get United over the line in their latest European outing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side did fall two goals behind on home soil and Red Devils legend Paul Scholes has claimed Klopp would have been “rubbing his hands” together.

“I was watching game and there was not one second where I was rubbing my hands together,” Klopp said. “Even in the first half, United had three clear-cut chances. Second half was demonstration of United going for it, which can cause problems.”

even if Cristiano Ronaldo stop playing football today, Mohammed Sallah can never match his records until retirement, this is a very wack comparison.

You should be more concerned that your midget is not even in the conversation,to start with.
On current form,Mo Salah is the best player in world football right now,and CR7 still giving him a run for his money at this age speaks volumes of CR7 form and longevity at the peak of world football .

You can't even compare Salah to Lewandowski....... Ronaldo and Messi are once in a century footballers..... The things both of them have done may never be matched again in the history of football.... Salah still dey creep for where Ronaldo dey and its disrespectful to even mention Salah wen talking about Ronaldo
