In a chat with Sky Sports, Onana didn’t hesitate when asked about the toughest opponent he’s faced:
“Mo Salah at the minute is just the main man. He’s really rapid, sharp, he’s got the finish, skillful — I think he’s got it all.”
While the Everton star admitted he hasn’t marked Salah 1v1, he acknowledged the Liverpool forward’s game-changing presence in every match.
