Torres: "Salah is the best in the world"

Fernando Torres, who watched Atletico Madrid's match at Liverpool on Wednesday, said Mohamed Salah is the best player in the world.

"100%," the Madrid man said when asked if the Egyptian is the best in the world at the moment. "But not just this year, the last two or three seasons he's been incredible," added Torres, who also managed Atletico in the Youth League before heading to Anfield.

"When you link a player with individual awards it's normally because he wins titles with the team as well, but I think he's been one of the two or three best in the world in the last five or six years. His consistency is spectacular," Torres told Liverpool.

"He keeps breaking records and scoring goals. We've spoken a few times and I'm very happy for him because when he came to England he had a bit of a hard time. He's a great guy and a great player and he's showing the world that.
