Pat Nevin has stated that the AC Milan fans ‘know their football’ after they gave Mo Salah a standing ovation when he was subbed during his side’s 2-1 win at the San Siro on Tuesday night, as he told BBC Sport.
The Liverpool speedster returned to familiar grounds in Italy last night and he got on the scoresheet against the Serie A leaders in the first half of their Champions League showdown.
Jurgen Klopp’s men had already qualified to the knockout stages of the Champions League, but their opponents needed the three points to progress with them.
Ex-Chelsea man Fikayo Tomori opened the scoring for the Italian giants, before Salah was the quickest to react to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s long-range effort to equalise before the break.
The man of the moment for Liverpool, Divock Origi, had put the Reds into the lead before Salah was subbed on the hour mark, as Nevin lauded the Milan fans for their reaction.
“The entire Milan support have applauded Mohamed Salah,” said Nevin. “These fans know their football.
“They love their football.”
Salah is entering a period where he is now elevating his legendary status even further and now becoming one of the greats of the game.
The Egypt international has only just entered the peak of his career and he is starting to hit the best form of his life.
And many feel that the Liverpool flyer is the best player in the world right now, even though the recent Ballon d’Or awards stated otherwise.
Lionel Messi is probably the greatest of all time, but it’s Salah who is the best left-footed player working his magic on that football pitch today.
