Messi is not the man of all records  

As much as the voting for the Ballon d'Or award has determined that Lionel Messi is the best footballer today, this player will be involved in controversy with this trophy that many would think would be for the star of Manchester City, Erling Haaland, but is that even and having the Argentine player this recognition, this element of Inter Miami can not overcome in its entirety to a Mohamed Salah who has been unfairly valued for this award.

It is true that Messi has been one of the best players that Barcelona and Spain have had in their history, but this Argentinian player cannot compare with Salah who for just over six years has been playing in the best league in the world, the Premier League, being much more complex to be able to obtain infinite records that make the Egyptian one of the most valuable men in England.

 

Although in terms of records at club level it is true that Messi is a few ahead of Mohamed Salah, in terms of being the league's top player in European competitions is a merit and a mark that Messi took a long time to achieve with Barcelona, as Mo'in six years has achieved what Messi did in 17 seasons with the Culés.

 

With just six years and a couple of months as a Reds player, Salah already holds the record of being the second highest goalscorer in his institution, being Roger Hunt today with 446 goals, being these figures far superior to those in Barcelona, as the blaugranas had Cesar Rodriguez as their best net breaker with 230 goals, a mark that Mo' would have easily surpassed, taking Messi almost eight seasons to surpass his maximum reference in Barcelona.

<strong>Salah is the madam of the Premier League  </strong>

No one denies that Messi's marks are impressive and sign of an outstanding player in modern football, but neither can it be hidden that Salah in less time belonging to a top league has done things in an exceptional way, having a very constant rhythm that can take him to bigger marks, of course, this is if he decides to stay in the Reds and reject those millionaire offers in which players like Messi himself fell into in the MLS.
