Mohamed Salah has proved that he is one of the biggest players on the European soil with his dominant efforts this season. In fact, the attacker surpassed his Brazillian counterpart in the competition during this campaign.
The Egyptian successfully led his club to the final of the European tournament, recording 10 goals and 4 assists to his name. He has also put up some dominant displays as The Reds edged past the likes of Roma, Manchester City and Porto on their way to the final.
Neymar, on the other hand, could do very little as he watched his club crashed out of the tournament in the Round of 16. The Brazilian could only settle for just 6 goals and 3 assists in the competition this term.

Jidonu’s tryst with football started after watching the 2002 FIFA World Cup final between Brazil and Germany, being mesmerized by Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Barcelona philosophy and approach towards the game under Pep Guardiola further fueled the burgeoning love for the sport, and he has been a Culer ever since.
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo. The 2022 FIFA World Cup final, where Messi's brace led to La Albiceleste lifting the cup left a lasting impact on him. His love for Messi also sees him follow Major League Soccer apart from Europe’s top five leagues.
