Egypt winger Mohamed Salah has spoken out about the crisis Man City and Pep Guardiola are in, after scoring twice in Liverpool’s 3-2 win at Southampton on Sunday.
The Reds now have an eight-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Ahead of the leaders’ clash at Anfield next Sunday, Mo Salah doesn’t want to underestimate Pep Guardiola’s side.
“Manchester City are Manchester City. They’re going through a tough time now, but they’ve just got really good players,” Salah told Sky Sports.
The Egyptian, who once again won gold for Liverpool with a brace, tried to remain down-to-earth but at the same time couldn’t hide his excitement. “I’m doing well. Hopefully we can continue on this path. I hope we beat Manchester City and the lead becomes eleven points. »
According to Salah, the victory over Southampton only gave him more confidence for upcoming high-profile matches against Real Madrid and Manchester City, between the Champions League and the Premier League. “Our game plan was good, we played our game and I was confident that we would have our chances,” said the star player.
