Liverpool striker Salah scoffs: Pep would choose the Champions League

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has dismissed the claims of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola regarding their Champions League triumph.

Earlier this month Guardiola likened Liverpool's victory to a lucky spin of a roulette wheel.

"Honestly, I didn't know that he [Guardiola] said that, but I think if you give him a choice to choose which one, he would choose the Champions League," Salah told CNN.

"That's my opinion. I'm not talking about him, but my opinion. It's the biggest competition in football, so everyone wants to win it.

"Every coach, every player wants to win it, dreams of winning it. So, of course, the Premier League also is something big, but still the Champions League is the biggest competition.

"It's a dream for everyone, the city, the players, to win a Champions League is something so great and something very big.

"So everyone was having that special moment. I was feeling like a kid whose dream comes true."
