In just 49 appearances for Arne Slot’s team, the Egyptian international has scored 33 goals and given 23 assists. With his assistance, Liverpool won the league for the twentieth time this season.
Unfortunately for Salah, Liverpool’s withdrawals from the Champions League and the Carabao Cup have dashed his hopes of winning the Ballon d’Or.
Salah, who is 32 years old, expressed his desire to win the Ballon d’Or for his country in an interview with France Football, as reported by GFFN: “It’s not in my hands but obviously, one day I would like to win it.” Growing up in an Egyptian town makes fantasizing about winning the Ballon d’Or seem like a faraway fantasy.
“It wasn’t until I arrived in Liverpool that the idea of, perhaps, someday… My career will still be a success even if I don’t win.
