Heung-Min Son has been discussing some of the best attacking wingers in football history.

Speaking to Goal, the Korean was ta๊sked with ranking and comparing some of the best wing🌼ers in modern history.

Son himself is a world-class winger at his best, and during this challenge, he made quite the claim about Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

Salah has been one of the best players in the world this season. In fact, Salah is in Ballon d’Or winning form as of late.

During this challenge, Heung-Min Son shared just how highly he rates Salah, going as far as to pick the Egyptian over the likes of Ronaldinho, Neymar and even himself.

Heung-Min Son picks Mohamed Salah over Ronaldinho

Son ꦺwas asked to choose between Salah and Ronaldinho.

As you can imagine, this wasn’t an ea♊sy choice for the Tottenham captain.

However, ultimately, the S🔯purs star opted to pick Salah over Ronaldinho.

That wasn’t the only interesti🐷ng claim Son made about these legendary wingers.

Mohamed Salah compared to Ronaldinho

Comparing Moha🅺med Salah to Ronaldinho is⛎ an unenviable task to say the least.

Yes, they’re both world-class attacking players, but,☂ in terms of style of play, they’re like apples and oranges🎃.

Rio F꧟erdinand recently said tꦫhat Salah isn’t that entertaining of a player, and, in a way, he’s not wrong.

The 🥃Liverpool ace is all about ultra-efficiency, he wants to create chances, s🌟core goals and make things happen.

That’s why Salah is one of🅠 the best players in Premier League history.

Me🐽anwhile, Ronaldinho was more of an artist than a footballer at times, he co🔯uld tie any opponent in knots, and, at times, it felt like he’d rather get a nutmeg than a goal.

If you 𒅌compare the two statistically, Salah does come out on top⛄.

However, to reduce Ronaldinho’s game down to goals and assists is a disservice to his ability, and it’s a disservice to what makes football a beautiful game – the beautiful g⛎ame even.

Both players are incredi꧟ble, and, when all is said and done, they will go down as two of the greatest of alꦇl-time.

Son prefers Salah to Ronaldinho, but there really ꦐis no w🎃rong answer when comparing these two legends.
