    France Football caught up with Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, and the Egyptian was asked to pick the best left-footed player. He was given several choices, starting with James Rodriguez, Ryan Giggs, Angel Di Maria, to Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, and the Reds star himself. Di Maria made his list for quite some time, beating the likes of Giggs, Gareth Bale and Mesut Ozil. His final two choices were between Maradona and Messi, and then between the Inter Miami star and himself.
