Sallah is a star player and currently, he is the highest goal scorer. Can someone who is not a star player be leading in goals, that's impossible. I might say that I only see Liverpool winning EPL but I don't see them winning UCL, because there are more strong clubs ready capable of winning the trophy this season.
Why not see them win the Champions League, don't they have a pretty good chance of getting it? They are also in good form right now, so that opens up a bigger chance for them to win the Champions League title this season.
I think all clubs have a chance of getting it, but what makes them different is the percentage of chance they have. Maybe I would agree more when you say they have a percentage that is not higher than other clubs. For example, they have a 30% chance of getting the Champions League calculated from this group stage, but other clubs have a 35% chance, I think that's more appropriate.
Maybe he should mention another strong team that has the potential to win the Champions League.
I know the current system makes it possible for teams that are currently not so prominent and even seem to have a declining performance to compete in the next round even though they have to qualify through the playoffs.
Thus teams that currently tend to be inconsistent such as Man City, PSG, Juventus, and even Madrid still have a chance to win the Champions League trophy this season.
But maybe it can be seen that the team with the most consistent performance at the moment is Liverpool. Not only in the Champions League but also in the Premier League. Where Salah has an important role in the squad that is the coach's plan.
