Diogo Jota: Salah, Ronaldo Are Both World Class

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota said that his club teammate Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo are at the same standards.

“[He is a] great player, world class,” the 24-year-old said on Salah to Sky Sports.

“He is showing his technique to the world this season. He is scoring goals for fun.

“Great goals, inpidual goals, and for us this is helpful because we have someone on the field who can decide the game, and for the opponents they know they need to be careful and we can then take the spaces that they leave because they are too worried about him.

“I had that first feeling when I played for the national team with Ronaldo and I think I can put him [Salah] up there to the same standards, though Ronaldo has been doing it for a very long time.

“When they are on the field they are dangerous and can score at any time. And for me that is very useful as I can watch and learn from them,” he concluded.
