Egypt and Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah, named the four best goalkeepers he’s played against throughout his career.

Since moving to Europe at 20 years of age, Salah got the chance to play against some of the best goalkeepers in the world, in Europe’s top competitions.

In 449 games in Europe with Basel, Chelsea, Fiorentina, AS Roma and Liverpool, Salah found the back of the net on 218 occasions.

When asked which one was his toughest opponent, Salah couldn’t single out one and named four keepers instead.

“I can’t just pick one, so I’ll give you names,” the 29-year-old told Sky Sports TV.

“Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon, Alisson Becker and Manuel Neuer are the best,” he told Sky Sports

“It’s hard to pick any of them, I’m sure there are many but I don’t remember at the moment.

“I played against him when he was in Porto, not Real Madrid. You see him talking to defenders and the rest of the players constantly. I chose him for his career.

“When I played against Buffon in Italy, it was unbelievable. The feeling of playing against Buffon is amazing.”

“Buffon’s won everything in his career, it’s unbelievable,” he concluded.
