Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has claimed that he is not fazed by pressure on the football pitch and described his life as "easy".

The Egyptian has enjoyed an outstanding debut season on Merseyside, scoring 43 goals in just 47 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Salah has played in numerous high-pressure games for club and country, including Champions League knockout clashes and World Cup qualifiers, but he insists that he is used to the pressure.

"This is my life, it's an easy life," Salah told CNN. "It's not complicated. I have nothing much to do during the day but it's a responsibility in the end.

"You have to take it easy and carry on. I'm not nervous about that. It's also a little bit difficult because you don't have the freedom to make mistakes or something wrong.

"That's pressure but when you've been under pressure for many years you can deal with it. It's fine."

On Tuesday night, Salah scored a brace to help Liverpool establish a 5-2 lead over Roma in their Champions League semi-final first leg.
