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.
Footballer Harry Kane speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares his intention to win the award in 2026.
The Ballon d’Or award is an award given to the best footballer in the world based on their performance during the year.
It has already been rumoured that the players likely to win the award include Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Rodri.
Kane shared, “So I think that is what makes football special, all those debates, and the Ballon d’Or is definitely one of them. I’m happy that I am in contention, so we will have to wait and see.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken about the club’s signing of Enzo Fernández from Chelsea and why he is excited about the move.
Fernández completed his move to Manchester City from Chelsea on deadline day, with the midfielder joining the club for a British record-equalling £125 million.
Maresca said “Enzo Fernández… we’ve signed a winner. Enzo has a winning mentality, he knows how to win – World Cup, Club World Cup. And the main thing is that he’s a winner.”
“I can promise you in the last four or five days, four or five players were asking if he’s coming or not, because they wanted him with us!”
PSG manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on who should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, saying he believes the award should go to one of his players.
He said, “The Ballon d’Or should go to a PSG player, We have players who have won the Champions League. We have Fabián, who won the World Cup as well. We have Ousmane, who won the Ballon d’Or last season. That’s my opinion, but I’m not interested in individual awards.”
The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, with the shortlist set to be revealed on September 8.
