Mohamed Salah insists he cannot be compared with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as he is yet to perform on consistent basis over a long period of years.
However, Salah has been in spectacular form in the 2017-18 season, scoring 32 goals in just 36 Premier League games, thereby setting a new record for the amount of goals scored in a Premier League season.
He has won a number of awards, too, collecting the Golden Boot , the Premier League Player of the Year award, the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Player of the Year awards.
Such form has led to comparisons with Messi and Ronaldo, one of which he will soon face in the Champions League final this month.
“Not at all,” Salah told Egypt Today when asked if he was bothered by the comparisons.
“But I don’t want to say that I am happy with these kinds of comparisons, because each of them was at top level for 10 or 11 years. Their performance level is stable.
“Yet, I need to maintain my high performance level for many seasons. I hope I can do so. Definitely, they are great players.”
Messi has scored 45 goals in all competitions this campaign, while Ronaldo has scored 43, compared to Salah’s 44 goals.
Despite rumours linking him with a move to Santiago Bernabeu, Salah said that he is happy at Anfield.

“All that I can say is that I’m happy to be here and I’m adapted to the prevailing atmosphere. I’m thinking to end the season in the perfect way,” he said when asked if he would stay at the club.
