# Milner says Liverpool must support Salah

Liverpool midfielder James Milner believes that the club can find success in the Champions League this season if they are able to continue cultivating Mohamed Salah’s goalscoring ability.

Milner, who spoke at a [press conference](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5464613/James-Milner-insists-Liverpool-conquer-Europe-Salahs-help.html) ahead of tomorrow night’s round-of-sixteen second leg versus Porto, believes Liverpool have improved over the last few months and have the ability to contend with Europe’s biggest superpowers.

Moreover, the Englishman commented on how crucial Salah’s contributions are to the team.

> In games you need those moments of brilliance at times and he \[Salah\] can create goals out of nothing on his own, but we have to make sure the goals are shared out throughout the team.
>
> Hopefully he can keep his season going and banging those goals in. I’ve been lucky to play with some great players and he’s up there. He’s been ruthless and has shown he’s a top player.

Since signing for the Reds in the summer from Roma for £37.8 million, Salah has been a key figure, scoring 32 goals and tallying 11 assists in all competitions.

The Egyptian was crowned African Footballer of the Year for 2017 and is building up a large amount of momentum ahead of this summer’s FIFA World Cup.

The winger is available for selection ahead of tomorrow night’s match.
