Rafa Benitez Says Salah Is More Complete Player Than Ronaldo
Former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez has shared his take on the Cristiano Ronaldo versus Mohamed Salah debate, saying the Egyptian is the more complete player.
Speaking on the YouTube channel Shoot for Love, Benitez explained that while Ronaldo’s record in front of goal is unmatched, Salah brings more to the game overall. According to him, the Portuguese star stands out as one of the greatest finishers in football history, but Salah offers a wider range of qualities that make him a more rounded attacker.
Salah has scored 323 goals and provided 162 assists in 657 club appearances, showing consistency at the highest level for many years. Ronaldo, meanwhile, remains the all-time top scorer in club football with 796 goals and 257 assists in 1,057 matches.
Benitez summed up his thoughts by saying that although Ronaldo’s finishing ability is legendary, Salah’s overall contribution tilts the balance in his favor when comparing both players.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
