Ex-Liverpool star Phil Thompson picks Salah, Mane & Firmino over Paris Saint-Germain superstar trio

Liverpool open their 2018-19 Uefa Champions League campaign with a cracker against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield on Tuesday evening, and the clash sets two of the world’s deadliest attacking triumvirate up against each other.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were crucial to the Reds’ glorious, unprecedented run to the final of the competition last season, scoring a combined 30 goals [a record-breaking 10 apiece] - 91 in all competitions - while PSG's trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani bagged 89 goals.

This season, the Reds forward have netted eight while their rivals are three goals ahead, and former Anfield star Phil Thompson believes ‘honesty, work-rate and the way they go about their jobs’ places Jurgen Klopp's attacking cast above Thomas Tuchel's.
