The question has been posed: Who is faster – Salah or Ronaldo? – and is Salah better dribbler? This article examines the numbers to help you decide. Both players have more appearances and Premier League goals, but who is faster? And which one has a higher dribbling accuracy? The answer may surprise you. It also depends on how you define speed.
Salah is faster than Ronaldo
There’s no denying that Ronaldo and Salah are two of the best players in the world, but who’s faster? Ronaldo scored more goals and assisted more than Salah, but the Egyptian is faster overall. The two have similar skill sets and are often compared as being better than the other. However, the difference in speed is not as glaring as you might think. Ronaldo’s speed has been a talking point for many football fans, but Salah’s ball control and finishing has made him stand out in this competition.
According to Opta’s statistics, Salah is the second fastest Premier League player this season. The Egyptian’s top speed is 36.6 km/h. That’s faster than Ronaldo and only 0.1 km/h slower than the common garden snail. Salah’s pace has helped Liverpool FC to win a number of games this season, scoring counter-attack goals against Manchester United, West Ham United, and Arsenal.
Salah also has the edge in speed when compared to Ronaldo, who has the same height. But Salah’s goal scoring record and assist ratio make him the king of the wing. While Ronaldo was a star during his prime, Salah is now regarded as a better option. Although Salah is faster, Ronaldo is more prolific as a playmaker. He has a much better shot and a much greater range than Salah.
As a matter of fact, Salah has outscored Ronaldo by more than a minute. While Ronaldo is faster in the final third of a game, Salah is faster in the second half. He is also more accurate in crossing the ball. As a matter of fact, Salah has more assists than Ronaldo this season. The difference between Salah and Ronaldo is just one of many factors.
Salah has more goals in the Premier League than Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah are the two most prolific Premier League scorers. Both players have been on fire this season and Salah is the Premier League’s leading scorer with 20 goals and five spot-kicks in 27 games. But how does Salah stack up against Ronaldo? Let’s take a look at the figures. What’s remarkable about Salah is that he’s only 23 years old and is still a top player in England.
The first goal tally that combines the two stars comes at the very top of the Premier League, where Salah has accumulated more goals in fewer appearances. The Liverpool ace is in the process of matching Ronaldo’s 22 Premier League goals and needs just one more to equal the record set by the Portuguese superstar two seasons ago. Moreover, if Salah is to reach this feat, he’ll become the third player to win the trophy three times, after Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer, as well as Harry Kane.
During his first season in England, Salah has been in sensational form for Liverpool. He has been a constant contender for the Premier League Golden Boot and has fashioned a lethal front three with Sadio Mane. On Sunday, his goal against Wolves was the same as Ronaldo’s 84 Premier League goals in six seasons at Old Trafford. In his second season in England, Salah scored 22 Premier League goals and provided nine assists. The two players now have a combined total of 108 Premier League goals and Salah is on course to win it for the third time in five years.
Cristiano Ronaldo will turn 38 in February. Last season, he scored 24 goals in 38 appearances for Manchester United. Eight of them were in the Premier League. The other eight were against teams that finished in the top four of the Premier League. The difference is pretty dramatic, so it should come as no surprise if Salah has more goals than Ronaldo. So, who is the better player?
Salah has more appearances in the competition than Ronaldo
Both players have more appearances in the competition, but Salah has scored more goals than the Portuguese superstar. Ronaldo has nine league goals and Salah has six, which is just one goal less than Salah’s total. Both players have appeared in 201 games in the competition, but Salah has made more league appearances than Ronaldo. Here are the stats to compare. Ronaldo has more goals in La Liga, but Salah has more appearances in the competition.
Cristiano Ronaldo has more appearances in the competition than Salah, but Salah’s Chelsea spell was a tough test. Salah has more appearances in the competition than Ronaldo, but Ronaldo has played more years in the competition. In terms of appearances, Salah has more Premier League seasons than Ronaldo. But they share more similarities. Salah is a better teammate and has more experience in the Premier League than Ronaldo.
Both players have over 30 Premier League goals. Ronaldo has more assists. Salah has more shots on goal. But Ronaldo is the better player in most areas. He’s a constant threat on the offensive. Ronaldo is more prolific in big games. Salah played well for Manchester City and Roma. And he scored a last-minute penalty to get Egypt into the World Cup. A comparison of Salah’s and Ronaldo’s stats could prove interesting.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah are both world-class players. While Ronaldo has more goals in the competition, Salah has more appearances. Salah has more goals than Ronaldo, but both have been on top form for Liverpool this season. They both have five goals in six Premier League games. Cristiano Ronaldo has six in 49 appearances, while Salah has five in six.
Salah is a better dribbler than Ronaldo
Both Ronaldo and Salah were known for their skillful dribbles, but which is the better dribbler? There are many factors to consider, and we’ll take a look at some of them in this article. Ronaldo had a reputation for his dazzling dribbles while playing for Manchester United, but Salah has been proving himself as a more complete and dynamic player.
One reason to prefer Salah over Ronaldo is that he plays in the Premier League. Salah has dribbled 31 times this season. In comparison, Ronaldo has managed just nine. Salah has scored 15 Premier League goals and nine assists. The Egyptian is a very important player for Liverpool, and he has a chance of helping the Reds win the title this season.
Although Salah is more elusive when dribbling, his success rate dribbling past defenders is still far better. Last season, Salah had the lowest success rate with dribbling past defenders, but when he dribbled with the ball, things would happen. His dribbles were responsible for 21 shots for Liverpool, and only one player created more shots in the Premier League than Salah. In comparison, Saint-Maximin had more dribbles, but zero of them resulted in goals, while Salah’s dribbles led to five.
The best modern forwards need to dribble the ball and assist, but they must also be able to lead the press. Jurgen Klopp has worked with Salah for a long time, and he’s better at this than Ronaldo. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has never been a defensively minded player, preferring to save energy for his match-winning contributions. Throughout the last season, Ronaldo had significantly decreased his press rate, and he was only averaging seven pressures per game.
Salah is a better finisher than Ronaldo
Both Ronaldo and Salah are excellent finishers and can score at any time, but who is better? Both have scored in the Champions League, but Salah has scored more. Ronaldo has scored in 22 games this season, while Salah has scored in four in a row – both of them against Real Madrid, RB Leipzig, and Midtjylland. It’s a good start, but if you want to catch Ronaldo’s 22 game scoring streak, Salah must score more goals than Ronaldo.
Both Ronaldo and Salah are world-class players, but Salah is the more consistent finisher, with more goals per Premier League game. Ronaldo is a better aerial threat, but Salah has a more effective left foot. And Salah’s hat-tricks are more impressive. Both players have made a number of crucial passes, which is vital for scoring a goal.
Salah has become a key player for Liverpool, scoring 33 goals in all competitions. He’s teamed up with Sadio Mane to lead Liverpool to an undefeated season. Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland have also been linked with a Real Madrid move. While Ronaldo and Messi have their moments, Salah is an all-round better finisher and should be the number one striker in the world.
Both players have scored goals. But it’s the finish that counts the most. Salah has seven league goals, while Ronaldo has eight. The Portuguese striker has a better overall record, but Salah’s two hat-tricks have a different feeling to them. And Salah is more ruthless. The goal difference between them is huge. Both players have a great touch and are better finishers.
