“To win the Champions League is huge for everyone. I don’t care about the rest,” he explained.

“To win the Champions League is ‘whissssshhhh’,” he said with a longing sigh. “I can’t say, just ‘woahhh’,” he tried again, gesturing towards the sky.
Salah is leading the race for the Premier League Golden Boot. Equally stunning, is the fact he is ahead of the likes of Messi and Ronaldo in the race to win the Golden Shoe in Europe’s biggest leagues.

Yet asked if he thought more about winning those goal-scoring awards, or indeed the Premier League Player of the Year, his response was emphatic.
