The Egyptian megastar has been Liverpool's biggest firepower in recent seasons. He has developed a lot under Jurgen Klopp and is now a strong Ballon d'Or contender for a reason. Some people might have believed that Salah would be just a one-season wonder for Liverpool but the player has proven them wrong so far.

He is currently the top goalscorer at the Premier League and he also surprisingly has an excellent record of assists. An agile and pacy winger who can beat most defenders in 1 on 1 situation, he would cause Barcelona a lot of trouble in Liverpool's counter-attack.

It is safe to say that he could be as decisive for Liverpool as Messi is for Barcelona but, I do not expect him to take much of the actions at this match because the Catalans would press Liverpool heavily. Hence, the result should be more dependent on Liverpool's defense rather than the Red's attack.
