Salah is a 'God' - Del Piero

Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero has stated that Liverpool star player Mohamed Salah is a 'God'.

Del Piero made this known ahead of the Champions League round of 16 first-leg clash between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool on Tuesday night.

"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.”
