Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah is the best player in the world for his position.

Salah made the claim himself this week.

And Los Blancos boss Ancelotti has no qualms with calling Salah the world's top winger - but would not extend that honour to being the top player overall.

“Salah has said that in his position he is the best in the world and I think he is right," Ancelotti told reporters.

“I agree with him. In his position, yes, he is the best in the world."
