Jakarta -Mohamed Salah posted a Christmas greeting photo with his family. The Liverpool striker was immediately compared to Karim Benzema.
Salah made a Christmas greeting with his family. He, along with his wife and child, posed casually in front of the Christmas tree.
Salah’s actions were then widely commented on by netizens. Many people brought up Salah’s religion.
As a Muslim player, Salah received various responses for wishing Merry Christmas, a habit he has had since donning the Liverpool jersey. Some immediately compared him to Karim Benzema.
The French striker was compared to Mohamed Salah because he was considered never to say Christmas. Photos of Benzema are scattered in the comment section of Salah’s Christmas post.
On the contrary, Salah’s fans hit back at Benzema by bringing up his off-field behavior. The former Real Madrid striker is said to have frequently been involved in criminal cases, something Salah has never done. In fact, some have found that Benzema also celebrated Christmas in his youth.
As a player, Benzema is indeed more outstanding than Salah. The 37-year-old player has won all the club-level titles with Real Madrid, from LaLiga trophies, Champions League, and Club World Cup. He also won the Ballon d’Or in 2022.
While Mohamed Salah could only bring the championship titles to Liverpool in the Premier League and the Champions League, he has yet to win any prestigious individual awards. In terms of goals, Salah has only scored 301 goals at the club level, falling short of Karim Benzema (461).
