Who has the greater Premier League legacy?
Sallah or Ronaldo?
A hard choice, but I’ll go with Mohammed Salah because he stayed longer in the league and plus he’s one the most consistently good attackers in the league over the years.
Comparing the Premier League legacies of Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo is a subjective matter, as both players have achieved incredible feats in the English top flight. Here are some key points to consider when evaluating their respective legacies:
Mohamed Salah’s Premier League Legacy:
Salah has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club in 2017, helping them win the Premier League title in the 2019-2020 season.
In the 2017-2018 season, Salah set a new record for the most goals scored in a 38-game Premier League season, with 32 goals.
He has consistently been one of the top scorers in the league, finishing as the Premier League’s top scorer in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons.
Salah has also been a prolific creator, providing a significant number of assists for his teammates.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Premier League Legacy:
Ronaldo played for Manchester United from 2003 to 2009, during which he won three Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League.
He was a key player in Manchester United’s success during this period, scoring 84 goals and providing 34 assists in the Premier League.
Ronaldo’s performances earned him numerous individual accolades, including the PFA Players’ Player of the Year and the FWA Footballer of the Year awards in the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons.
While Salah’s achievements in the Premier League are impressive, some argue that Ronaldo’s impact and influence during his time at Manchester United were greater. However, it is important to consider the different eras in which the two players have competed, as the style of play and the overall quality of the league have evolved over time.
My choice is Mohamed Salah.
Salah has been directly involved in 0.60 goals per match, while Ronaldo has been involved in 0.44 goals per match. Salah has been slightly more efficient in terms of goal contributions, although the difference is not significant.
While both players are highly skilled and have had a significant impact on their respective teams, Salah wins my vote.
