Egypt National team star Mohamed Salah and Uruguay National Team Luis Suarez both have played for Liverpool will face each other in a Group stage of World Cup 2018.
Here Sportsmail compares the two talismans vying for Group A advantage in Yekaterinburg.
How are they viewed by their countrymen?
Both Salah and Suarez have translated their remarkable club form to the international stage, netting a combined 84 goals in only 155 games.
Both Salah and Suarez propelled their sides to qualification and both Salah and Suarez are in Russia weighed down by the hopes of a nation.
What are their styles of play?
The current Liverpool No 11 has been deployed mostly from the right by Jurgen Klopp, where his pace and trickery has proved a perpetual problem for defenders.
But whether coming from the right or down the middle Salah tends to stay high up the pitch, providing a perfect outlet for quick transitions from defence to attack.
More than just a threat in behind, however, Salah has shown himself adept at creating for his team-mates and coming short and threatening while in front of defenders.
