Salah chooses the greatest African player in history and more in a quickfire Q&A.

In a recent quickfire Q&A session with Ballon d’Or via his official account on X, Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah offered a glimpse into his personal footballing thoughts — from career highlight to footballing preferences.

Salah hasn’t won the Ballon d’Or yet in his career, having achieved fifth place as his best position in the prestigious award.

Here’s what the Liverpool forward had to say:

When asked about the greatest African player of all time, Salah chuckled before responding:

“Me,” he said with a smile, before adding, “There are many… I’ll say George Weah, Didier Drogba, and Samuel Eto’o as well.”

Which player did you prefer to play with?

Salah admitted he didn’t play with him at his peak, but said: “I’ll go with Eden Hazard.”

A player you would like to play with?

The Egyptian King chose two legends without hesitation: “Steven Gerrard and Thierry Henry.”

Your favorite coach?

“Luciano Spalletti,” he replied — a nod to his impactful time under the Italian manager at Roma.

Your favorite goal in your career?

Salah selected two stunning strikes: “My goal against Manchester City at Anfield, and the one against them in the Champions League.”

The biggest regret in your career?

After thinking, he said: “No, I don’t have one.”

The toughest defender you had to face?

“There are too many,” Salah said. “I can’t name one.”

Even Sergio Ramos?

“He’s a very good player, but there are too many. I can’t say just one name.”

The trophy that left the biggest impression on you?

“The UEFA Champions League,” Salah said — a reminder of Liverpool’s 2019 triumph.

The exchange gave fans a more personal side of Salah: honest, humble, and filled with the same quiet confidence that defines his performances on the pitch.
