The Egyptian Mohamed Salah is the best soccer player active this season, 2024/2025.
The Liverpool striker at the age of 32 is very similar to Messi’s – an extraterrestrial in football, leveled with Legends like Pelé and Maradona) – for Barcelona when the Argentine was 32 years old. Today, Lionel is 37.
The comparison is made numerically and becomes more accurate due to the date of the anniversary of the stars. Salah is June 15th. Messi, June 24.
Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, is from February. The Portuguese, at birthday, will always be with the season (in Europe and the Middle East, from July/August to May/June) ongoing – 2/3 of it, he disputes at an age; The final third, with another. Salah and Messi make the complete cycle at the same age.
It is necessary to wait for the end of the current season for definitive registration, as Salah can improve or get worse there, but by the average it is possible to establish a comparison with Messi already.
Liverpool shirt 11 accumulated until Saturday (22), in the 24/25 season, 31 goals and 20 assists in 40 matches, adding performances by the club (37) and the Egyptian team (3).
On average, with each game, Salah participates in a goal, he himself scoring or giving the pass for a companion to score, 1.28 time.
The moment of the Egyptian is so special that, considering only Liverpool’s seven latest matches, over the last 30 days, he scored eight goals and has given three assists, which makes his participation in goals on average to rise to 1.57 per game. Sublime.
It is a portentous, very high number. Never the excellent Salah – who before wearing the Reds shirt (from 2017) defended Swiss Basel, Chelsea, Fiorentina and Rome – was so effective. Never played so much.
His best season, considering Liverpool and Egypt performance, had been the first in England (2017/2018): 51 goals and 10 assists in 60 games, resulting in participation in 1.02 goal per game on average. Now, remembering, it is at 1.28.
How was Messi at 32? Wearing the Blue and Grená shirt of Barça (then went to PSG and is currently at Inter Miami), plus Argentina’s alviceleste, he played 46 times, scored 33 goals and gave 28 assists. Participation in goal per game, on average: 1.33.
Eliminating the games for their respective teams, Salah 32 (24/25 Season) and Messi 32 (19/20 Season) are strictly tied, each with 1.32 participation in a goal per match, on average.
Seeing the Egyptian, which is left -handed as Messi, playing currently is a director.
Almost always on the right end, it shines in one against one. Fast, skilled, agile, leave the markers dizzy. Although not too high (1.75 m) or heavy (73 kg), it has body strength to earn the clash with any rival.
In the counterattack, then, Salah is lethal. Paping leagues, leaves the opponents behind to be face to face with the goalkeeper and supplant him.
It finishes very well and, as the numbers prove, is not foment, constantly leaving teammates in a condition of swinging the nets.
At 32, playing a lot, Messi won the Spanish Championship and won the Golden Boot, given to the main scorer of the European national championships. However, it did not earn a prize for the best in the world.
At 32, playing a lot, Salah walks to win the English (Liverpool leads with time off) and wants Champions League (Liverpool made the best campaign in the group stage). This happens, gain a golden ball and The Best, with coherence in voting, will occur naturally.
