Dominik Szoboszlai has heaped praise on Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah, claiming the Egyptian star’s extraordinary season places him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of career achievement and record-breaking influence.
Salah has delivered another dazzling campaign for the Reds, emerging as one of the Premier League’s most dominant forces under the guidance of new manager Arne Slot.
With 28 goals and 18 assists to his name in the league alone, the 32-year-old forward has been instrumental in Liverpool’s attacking prowess and continues to rewrite the record books with his performances.
His impact this season has not gone unnoticed.
Salah was recently honoured as the Premier League Player of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association, becoming only the second player to win the accolade three times after Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
He also holds the distinction of being the only African footballer to secure the award multiple times.
Speaking on Salah’s remarkable contributions, Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai did not hesitate to place his teammate in elite company.
“Salah can say what Cristiano Ronaldo says about himself,” said the 24-year-old, referring to Ronaldo’s famous assertion that records do not motivate him — they follow him.
Szoboszlai’s comparison draws attention to Salah’s sustained excellence and influence in one of Europe’s toughest leagues.
While comparisons with global icons like Ronaldo are often controversial, Szoboszlai believes Salah’s consistency and ability to perform at the highest level season after season make him worthy of such regard.
“It’s not just about goals and assists,” Szoboszlai added in his remarks. “It’s the way he leads, the way he trains, and how much he wants to win — it’s inspiring.”
Salah’s ongoing legacy at Anfield continues to grow.
Since arriving from Roma in 2017, the Egyptian international has played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s modern success, including Champions League and Premier League titles.
His current form only adds to his legendary status at the club, with many now debating his place among the greatest players in the Premier League era.
As Liverpool look to close out their season, the admiration for Salah both inside and outside the dressing room underscores his standing as not just a club icon, but a global footballing figure — a player who, in the eyes of some, now shares the same table as Cristiano Ronaldo.
