They made me explain myself before the United Nations when, 6 months ago, I said he was better than Salah.
They will still put on pub league EPL Tax to delude themselves in to thinking Salah is better.
They will tell me how many goals Salah has scored more than Lamine.
But this week showed you clear as day who is the better player. Big UCL knockout game and big domestic game. Lamine was a match winner in both, the other an Egyptian ghost.
Salah barely touched the ball in the cup final. In Lamine's worst game of all time he still is always on the ball, probing and being central to the play. He never disappears.
This is why eye test is all important. The work Lamine does that makes him the best in the world is not quantifiable. He does so much work outside of assists and goals. Salah only does assists and goals.
In truth, those with ball knowledge only need 5 minutes to see the difference both players have in their RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BALL, to see who is better. One had been given a divine gift from God. The other was blessed with pace and took years to develop man made improvements.
