Liverpool's Salah, Mane and Firmino 'better' than Messi, Mbappe and Neymar at PSG

Liverpool boast the best attacking line in world football, thanks to Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

That's according to Jack Wilshere, who has made quite the claim by saying the Reds' front-three is 'better' than Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain.

It's a tale as old as time - as long as football has existed, fans are argued what team is the strongest, what club is the biggest and what players are the best.

But it appears it doesn't stop with fans - players are in on it, too!

In a heated debate on talkSPORT, former Arsenal star Wilshere was asked about his favourite forward line-up.

And the 29-year-old was adamant that Liverpool's attacking three of Salah, Mane and Firmino is a better choice compared to PSG's big-name superstar trio.

Messi is unquestionably one of the greatest ever to grace the football pitch, while Mbappe has been tipped as the successor to the Argentine and rival Cristiano Ronaldo's throne at the very top of the game.

Neymar appears to have lost his way since moving to the French capital, but there is absolutely no doubting his ability and threat, when he's fit and firing.

With that being said, Salah has been recently hailed as the best player in the world on current form, having scored 15 goals in 14 appearances this season.

Together with Liverpool teammates Mane and Firmino, they are producing greater numbers than PSG's front three.

And that's why Wilshere says the Reds trio are at the top of the world game.

"At the moment, you'd have to say Liverpool's, when Liverpool's get going with that intensity," Wilshere said on Drivetime.

The ex-Arsenal man was also backed up by Premier League 100 club member Darren Bent, who said he would also pick Jurgen Klopp's trio over Mauricio Pochettino's.

"I think I'm with Jack on that," said the former striker. "I think I trust Liverpool's front three [over PSG's].

"Out of them three, Messi is of course the only questionable one, but I'd have Salah over any of the others, Neymar or Mbappe.

"Mane, Neymar? Who do I trust more, probably Mane. Top end of course Neymar is unbelievable, but Mane…

"One front three has won the Champions League, one hasn't."
