Salah vs. Ronaldo: Who truly has the better Premier League Legacy?
The debate between Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo is heating up, with fans comparing their time in the Premier League for Liverpool and Manchester United.
While both players have left their mark on English football, the numbers suggest this rivalry might be closer than many think.
Salah’s unstoppable numbers vs. Ronaldo’s legacy
Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of spectacular for Liverpool, scoring 214 goals and providing 88 assists in just 352 games.
Ronaldo, in his two stints at Manchester United, managed 145 goals and 55 assists in 346 games. While Ronaldo’s Ballon d’Or triumph in 2008 remains a highlight, Salah’s consistency in the world’s toughest league is turning heads.
Salah, now in his prime, is off to a flying start this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists in the first three games of the season.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo, who recently scored his 900th career goal for Portugal, continues to inspire even at 39. But, as some fans argue, comparing a prime Salah to a young Ronaldo may not be entirely fair.
“Compare age 25-31 CR7 to Salah and lmk,” one fan commented, pointing out the different stages of their careers.
Salah vs. Ronaldo: Fans divided on the debate
While some fans dismiss the comparison as “terrible,” others feel Ronaldo’s achievements go beyond the Premier League. “Ronaldo did it in his youth, he was raw… Salah’s prime is coming to an end. Look at what Ronaldo went on and did,” one fan noted, highlighting Ronaldo’s journey after leaving Manchester United.
There’s no denying Ronaldo’s global success, especially as the last player to win the Ballon d’Or while playing in England. But Salah’s numbers in the Premier League speak volumes, especially considering the league’s competitiveness.
With Liverpool reportedly ready to offer Salah a new contract, the Egyptian King shows no signs of slowing down.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s latest milestone of 900 career goals proves he’s still rewriting the record books.
The debate over who has the better Premier League legacy might never have a clear answer, but one thing is certain: both Salah and Ronaldo have set the bar incredibly high.
