Liverpool and Egypt icon Mohamed Salah has picked between Lionel Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo, as a favoured opponent in his final appearance at the World Cup.
Salah is of course fresh off booking his spot in the Last-16 of this summer’s North American showpiece.
After his native Egypt were forced to a penalty shootout by Australia, the veteran winger held his nerve to slot home a key spot-kick en route to victory.
The Pharaohs, in turn, are facing up to a clash with reigning champions Argentina in the competition’s next round.
And Salah, it would appear, is relishing the opportunity to line up against eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and current Golden Boot race leader Lionel Messi.
Drawn on his dream opponent for his ‘Last Dance’ at the World Cup this summer, given the options of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, the 34-year-old did not hesitate in confirming:
“Messi.”
