Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero, has hailed Liverpool ace, Mohamed Salah as a ‘God’ in football.
Del Piero said this ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League round of 16 first-leg tie against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night.
According to him, the Egyptian international has improved greatly in his style of play since leaving AS Roma for Liverpool in
“Mohamed Salah is now a God and not only in Egypt,” Del Piero was quoted by Goal as saying.
“I remember when he was playing for AS Roma, he had a lot of chances to score in front of goal and missed it.
“And presently he has improved at Liverpool and he has scored more than thirty goals in a season.
“It is the best thing for him because he has the mentality to improve and grow.”

Salah has scored 18 goals in all competitions for Jurgen Klopp’s side so far this season.
Born in Basyoun, Egypt on 15 June 1992, Salah began his professional career in his homeland with El Mokawloon.
When the Egyptian league season was suspended in March 2012 following a stadium disaster at Port Said, Salah was signed by Swiss side Basel after impressing against them in a friendly for Egypt under 23’s. Salah helped Basel to the Swiss league title and semi-finals of the Europa League in 2012/13, eventually going out on loan to Chelsea.
In January 2014 he signed for Chelsea, preferring a move to Stamford Bridge when there was also interest from Liverpool. Salah failed to make an impression there and was loaned to Fiorentina for the second half of 2014/15.
Salah stayed in Italy for 2015/16, on loan with Roma who he joined on a permanent deal in the summer of 2016.
