Having represented both Liverpool and Atletico Madrid in the prime of his career, Fernando Torres was an invested spectator for Wednesday's meeting between the two teams, although he made a rather surprising choice when asked who is the best footballer around.
Torres was asked on Mohamed Salah's form for the Reds this term, and the Spaniard spoke glowingly of the Egyptian.
"One hundred percent, I think not only this year but the last two or three seasons have been amazing," Torres told LFC TV.
"I think he has been one of the best two or three players in the world for the past five years. You can see him breaking all the records."
Salah already has five goals in four Champions League matches this season, whilst in the Premier League he has found the net 10 times in 10 matches.

someone said Salah is not given the recognition he deserves because he's African... I dunno but I agree with em... if Salah was an English or European player, the world wouldn't contain the noise pollution from football news sections....
