Liverpool star Mohamed Salah believes the team is enjoying more freedom under manager Arne Slot this season.

The Egypt international scored a superb goal in the Reds' 2-0 win against Bologna in the Champions League on Wednesday.

He spoke to Sky Sports after the match, and said: "I'm happy it went in, I always train on shots, but the most important thing is the victory that brings us to 6 points after two games in the Champions League, it was very important".

"We are freer in the game, not that we weren't before, but we are more involved in ball possession and the game system has changed."

When Asked if he still considers himself among the best in the world, the Egyptian replied by saying: "Yes, I think so."

Liverpool return to Premier League action on Saturday with an away trip to Crystal Palace.

Salah has already snatched six goals and provided five assists in nine games across all competitions this campaign.
