Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola made glowing comments about Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, describing him as one of the greatest players in the game.
Ahead of the teams' FA Cup quarter-final clash, the Spaniard paid tribute to the Egyptian star's remarkable career in the Premier League. Salah is set to depart Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season after nearly a decade of outstanding service.
Speaking during an interview in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Guardiola responded to a question about the headaches Salah had caused him over the years. "Absolutely. One of the greatest. The numbers, the consistency. What a player. Incredible human being. Goals, assists… absolute, absolute legend of course for Liverpool Football Club, but for the Premier League, for all he has done," he said.
He added that it was a good moment to say goodbye to Salah in England and that the forward deserved incredible recognition for his contributions to world football.
