Manchester City Star Highlights Salah’s Unstoppable Performance at Anfield
Manchester City's Spanish midfielder Rodri, who won the 2024 Ballon d'Or, said Liverpool's Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah gives him the toughest time of any opponent he's faced in England. Rodri came to Manchester City from Atlético Madrid in 2019 and has played against many top players in the Premier League, but he points to Salah as especially tricky.
Rodri told Cadena Cope, ", in La Liga, it was Lionel Messi. But in England at Anfield, Mohamed Salah is like a knife—very difficult to face." Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 and has scored 11 goals and set up 6 more against City in 21 games, always posing a big threat.
Rodri is now out with an ACL injury and will likely miss the rest of the season. His high praise for Salah shows how much the Egyptian affects games against Manchester City, often making the difference.
