Before leaving for the competition in Africa, Mo Salah's humiliation of Cristiano Ronaldo

Although Mohamed Salah has been criticized on hundreds of occasions due to the dilemma over his inclusion in the list of the best offensive players in the Premier League and the world, this Egyptian-born player has remained firm and focused on his work at Liverpool, a club that has recognized his validity as an attacker by highlighting each of his achievements, no matter how small or big they may be. A few days ago, he scored a couple of goals against Newcastle, making him even more distant from those who many considered to be the stars of the English league.

According to the statistics that have been shared on LiamMLFC's account, through X, it is known that the Reds player has achieved during his time in the Premier League a total of 153 goals in a cumulative 245 games, adding to that a total of 67 assists that make him a true current benchmark of the Premier League competition.

In the data published, a small comparison has been shown between Salah and former Premier League players like Eden Hazard and Cristiano Ronaldo, obtaining the Pharaoh much more positive numbers than both elements that were at the time the undisputed stars of clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United, and is that the Portuguese managed in 236 duels just 103 goals for 37 assists, while the Belgian could only in 245 commitments score on 85 occasions and assist on 54 others.

With these three players managing very similar numbers of games, it is incredible to see that the effectiveness of the Liverpool player is far above Ronaldo and Hazard, demonstrating that the true king of the position as a winger to this day remains Mohamed Salah, this even when many thought that after the departure of Sadio Mané and because of his age, the Pharaoh would cease to be so relevant within the competition, proving the opposite by being this campaign in many respects above younger elements such as Son Heung-Min and Erling Haaland.

Salah trying to confirm his validity as a star, but from Egypt's national team

It is true that Mohamed Salah's numbers this season could be surpassed by several players because the Egyptian will have to leave England for a couple of weeks in order to represent his country in the 2024 African Cup of Nations, a tournament in which he will try to lead Egypt to the ultimate glory with a title that confirms his spectacular form as one of the few elite athletes who resists falling for the charms of money in less demanding leagues.
