Karius doesn’t think Salah is as good as Ronaldo

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius thinks teammate Mohamed Salah has some way to go until he reaches the level of Cristiano Ronaldo, reports Sky Sports.

The two stars are set to go head-to-head this weekend when Liverpool face Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Kiev.

The Egyptian broke the Premier League record for goals in a season with 32, and he has 44 in all competitions this season.

Despite that, Karius believes there is some way to go until the winger can be compared to the Portuguese captain:

This season is unbelievable. He’s of course in that region. But Ronaldo showed himself over so many years to be up there with the best, you have to prove it season over season.

The 25-year-old signed for the Reds last summer and won the PFA Player of the Year for his record-breaking season. This season he has 10 goals in Europe, only Ronaldo has more with 15.

Salah will hope that he has one more big performance left in him before the World Cup to bring a sixth Champions League win back to Anfield.
