Mo Salah Says Liverpool Can Win UCL, Talks Difficulty of Winning EPL Golden Boot

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah believes the Reds can win the UEFA Champions League and has opened up on how difficult it is for him to win the Premier League's golden boot due to his playing position. 

As reported by CNN's James Masters and Becky Anderson, the Egypt international likes the Reds' chances of winning Europe's top club competition:

He also addressed the top scorer's race in the same interview, highlighting how Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero have it easier than him, as they play as strikers, rather than wingers:

The former AS Roma man will meet his old club in the semi-finals, with the first leg taking place at Anfield. According to Salah, his old team-mates would have preferred not to face the Reds:

Salah leads the Premier League's top scorer's race with 29 goals, four more than Kane and eight more than Aguero. Both Kane and Aguero have missed some time with injuries this season, but the former has made as many starts in the Premier League as Salah.

Kane was eventually awarded his 25th goal after the 2-1 win over Stoke City, with the goal initially given to team-mate Christian Eriksen.

With five Premier League matches left, Salah is the clear favourite to take home the top scorer's title thanks to his healthy lead at the top of the standings. Liverpool's main focus will be on Europe, however, and manager Jurgen Klopp could opt to rest the 25-year-old to keep him fresh for the two matches against Roma.

Salah will undoubtedly look forward to those contests, as he remains on excellent terms with the Giallorossi:

The first leg will be at Anfield on April 24, with the return leg in Rome taking place the following week.
