Mohamed Salah, Liverpool striker, has crowned himself "the best in the world in my position" two weeks before the UEFA Champions League final that will face the 'reds' with Real Madrid on May 28 in Paris.

"If you compare me to any player in my position, not only in my team but in the world, you will realize that I am the best," Salah told BeIN Sports.

The 29-year-old Egyptian striker defended his commented phrase "I am the best in the world in my position" by appealing to the numbers: "I always concentrate on my work, I give my best and my numbers are the best proof of my words" .

Those numbers that Salah uses to try to empirically demonstrate that he is the best footballer in the world in his position are his 30 goals (22 in the Premier League and 8 in the Champions League) and 16 assists this season.

On his way of approaching and understanding football, Salah, a former player for Al Mokawloon, Basel, Chelsea, Fiorentina and Roma, explains that "I like to always create a new challenge for myself, work in a different way and make a difference. That is my duty".

Salah doesn't forget: "I remember the last Champions League final against Real Madrid as if it were yesterday". Salah admitted that "I remember the last Champions League final against Real Madrid as if it were yesterday".

"I feel very excited to face them again in the final against Real Madrid. We want to do well this time. When I left the field in the last final, it was sad for me, but I had to accept it and move on. That's why we won the Champions League a year later," said the Egyptian striker.

Salah, does not forget the defeat against Madrid in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final: What happened?.

Mohamed Salah has engraved in his memory the Champions League Final played on June 26, 2018 in Kyiv between Liverpool and Real Madrid, and that he opted 3-1 on the side of the merengue team to lift the 'thirteenth'.

That game is a bitter memory for Salah due to the defeat against Madrid and the shoulder injury that occurred in a play with Sergio Ramos that forced him to leave the game.
