GOAL50 2021 Head to Head: Mbappe vs. Salah
Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah made it onto the shortlist of GOAL50 2021. But which of the two actually had the better year?
In the recent past there have been rumors of a move from Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool – it would be a sensational addition to an already strong offensive around Mohamed Salah.
Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires after the season, a farewell in summer is expected. Real Madrid, however, should have the better cards in poker for the French compared to Liverpool. Mbappe and Salah as teammates are likely to remain wishful thinking.
So on the pitch they are likely to remain rivals – and also in this year’s edition of GOAL50, which has undergone fundamental changes, they are among the most promising competitors.
This year it is you, the readers, who choose the best player in the world with the help of a head-to-head voting.
Choosing between Mbappe and Salah is likely to be one of the toughest decisions this year.
The Liverpool star was one of the main reasons that the injury-ridden Reds could still qualify for the Champions League.
With another 22 goals this season, he also became the first player in club history to score over 20 goals in England’s elite class in three consecutive seasons.
But Mbappe also had a strong season. 27 goals in 31 Ligue 1 games speak for themselves, and for the third time in a row he was top scorer.
However, the Euro 2020 was disappointing for the French. In four games he did not succeed. It was different in the Champions League, where he stood out against Barca and Bayern in particular.
The current form speaks for Salah, who many currently consider the best player in the world. His dream goals against Manchester City and Watford should still be remembered by some fans and this may also influence their decision in head-to-head.
Who do you choose – Mbappe or Salah? And should one of these players also get the award?
Don’t forget: You decide the outcome of GOAL50 2021!
