Mohamed Salah once again found himself in the global spotlight on Monday night—but not in the way many fans had hoped. The Egyptian forward, who lit up world football last season with 34 goals and 23 assists, guiding Liverpool to Premier League success, was only voted fourth best player in the world at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris.Despite his brilliance, Salah was edged out by Paris Saint-Germain’s Vitinha, Barcelona’s teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal, and eventual winner Ousmane Dembélé. Choosing not to attend the star-studded gala, the Liverpool talisman quietly continued preparing for the season ahead, where he has already registered three goals and three assists.💬 How Liverpool responded:
Shortly after the results, Liverpool’s official account posted a heartfelt tribute to their number 11 with the caption: “A season to savour from Salah ❤️”. The message quickly gained traction, with teammates Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, and Ryan Gravenberch all showing support by liking the post. Former Red Luis Díaz also joined in with a show of approval.🌍 Voices of support beyond Anfield:Former Egypt international Mido was vocal, insisting Salah “deserved to be crowned after everything he’s given to world football.”Egypt’s national team manager, Hossam Hassan, praised Salah’s journey, saying: “The challenges he has overcome make him worthy of this honor. He’s been at the top for years, inspiring millions.”⚡ The bigger picture:
For Salah’s fans—whether in Egypt, Liverpool, or across the globe—the Ballon d’Or outcome feels like yet another snub. Many argue that consistency in the toughest league on the planet, combined with his relentless excellence, should have earned him the crown.While the debate over Dembélé’s triumph continues, one thing is clear: Salah’s legacy as one of the modern game’s greats is beyond dispute. His influence stretches far beyond trophies—he is a symbol of determination, inspiration, and pride for millions.
