Mohamed Salah on Lionel Messi’s masterclass vs Algeria: 🗣️ “I watched the full game of Lionel Messi against Algeria, and honestly… what he did was just ridiculous from start to finish.” “From the first whistle, you could already see he was in that kind of mood where everything he touches turns into danger, and as a player you just feel it immediately.” “I’ve seen many great performances in my career, but the control he had over the game, the calmness, and the way he made it look so easy was something else entirely.” “When I say ridiculous, I mean it in the purest way… because even when Algeria tried everything defensively, he still found space, time, and solutions that shouldn’t exist.” “As a player, you watch that and you don’t even get frustrated first you just admire it, because it’s like watching someone playing a different version of football.” “There were moments where I honestly thought the move was dead, and then suddenly he creates a chance or a goal out of nowhere like it’s nothing.” “That’s why people call him special… because even when you prepare for him, you still end up reacting instead of stopping him.” “Tonight was another reminder that Messi is not just a top player… he is a once-in-a-generation type of talent.
