LIVERPOOL, England -- It took Mohamed Salah just 34 minutes to weigh in on a debate that had been raging for days in the build-up to Liverpool's UEFA Champions League clash with Lille.
After the Egyptian's teammate Curtis Jones, during a grilling by former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, admitted that he believed Chelsea legend Eden Hazard to be the superior footballer, Salah's online critics wasted no time holding those comments up as vindication.
"It's a talk I've had with Mo and all the lads," Jones told TNT Sports. "As a footballer, is he better than Mo? In my opinion, yes. But who would you rather have in your team?"
