#1 Mohamed Salah

Liverpool v AS Roma - UEFA Champions League - Semi Final - First Leg - Anfield — Salah will lead the attack against Madrid on Saturday

While Real Madrid will rely on Cristiano Ronaldo to spark magic in the Champions League final, Liverpool will also be counting on their incredible winger, Mohamed Salah to lead them to European glory on the night.

Los Blancos will need a perfect performance to get a chance of limiting the impacts of the 25-year-old.

The Egyptian has been one of the best attackers in the Champions League this term, bagging 10 goals and 4 assists in the competition so far.

His amazing pace, fantastic dribbling and the ability to score amazing goals will prove difficult for the Spanish giants to handle.

Salah has the ability to influence the game even if he does not score. His ability to set his teammates up at vital moments is one reason why he is considered a complete player. Once again, it will take a perfect team effort to limit the impact of this amazing winger.
