Egyptian international Mohamed Salah has been very successful this season in terms of both goals and assists. He has scored a goal or an assist in every game, often both. He leads the Liverpool attack, which is leading the Premier League table.
If he can continue to win the domestic league and reach the final of the Champions League, combined with his personal figures, the possibility of winning the Ballon d’Or is being talked about.
There is still a chance of winning the Carabao Cup trophy as well, and despite being eliminated from the FA Cup, a treble could also be on the cards.
However, Sam Allardyce, known as ‘Big Sam’, said Mohamed Salah would find it difficult to win the Ballon d’Or, claiming that Real Madrid would succumb to the political power of Real Madrid, who boycotted the award ceremony.
“There’s no chance,”
“It’ll be Vinicius Jr because of what Real Madrid did last year.”
“They will be absolutely s*** themselves because they won’t turn up again if one of them doesn’t win it, so one of them will win it. You might as well have a bet on it now.”
“With Mo Salah, you can tell physically, he’s the same as he was 10 years ago,”
“He doesn’t miss many games, hardly at all, he’s out there every week. He’s dependable, his numbers are so consistent.”
“As he’s got older, he doesn’t try and do stuff he’s not particularly good at, he stays where his team-mates can find him and when he gets the chance he always produces. I think he’s well worthy of it.”
“What will decide if Salah wins the Ballon d’Or is ultimately how successful Liverpool end up being. They will probably need the Champions League as well as the Premier League.”
