BRAZIL legend Ronaldo compared Mo Salah to Lionel Messi ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League final.
The former Real Madrid star, 41, is keeping a close eye on events in Kiev as Liverpool prepare for the huge clash.
And Ronaldo believes he sees shades of Messi in 25-year-old Salah’s ability to cut inside and destroy teams with his left foot.
He told El Partidazo de COPE:“Salah, I love him. He is an incredible player with a tremendous quality.
“He looks like Messi. I recently read him saying that I had been his inspiration and I was excited.”
Ronaldo thinks the evening kick-off will see plenty of goals given the wealth of attacking talent on display, as well as some leaky defences.
