'He is... ': Salah spams one word when asked about favourite Argentine player ever

"My favorite Argentine player apart from Mac Allister? Messi. I love Messi. He is... Messi is Messi, I love Messi," Mo Salah has told ESPN.

"I love [Gabriel] Batistuta as well, I met him once in Argentina, got his T-shirt signed, but yeah, I love Messi," he added.

Mo actually loves Messi, doesn't he?

The Argentine, in turn, once called Salah the greatest African player of all time. They recognise each other's class.

Interestingly, Salah has faced Messi just twice in his career – with Liverpool (Barca won 3-0, but we all know what happened next!) and Roma (1-1) against Barcelona.
