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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
