Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah insists that the 2018 Champions League final will not come down to whether he can outperform Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has insisted that the 2018 Champions League final will not come down to whether he can outperform Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Salah has scored 43 times in all competitions for Liverpool this term - including 10 in 12 Champions League appearances.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, has 15 Champions League goals to his name this season, and the two players will go head to head in the final of the European Cup later this month.

Salah, however, has insisted that he "cannot do it alone" as Liverpool look to prevent Madrid from winning the competition for the third straight year.

"It is not going to be a final between Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo," Salah told reporters. "I am playing for a great club and we have great players, so qualifying to the final came with great teamwork.

"I cannot do it alone - it is collective work. When we score a goal it's because we are all doing good, when we concede it means we all need to work harder."

Liverpool made the Champions League final despite suffering a 4-2 defeat to Roma in the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday night.
