Liverpool Stars Rally Behind Mohamed Salah After Ballon d’Or Snub 🏆🇪🇬

Mohamed Salah once again found himself in the global spotlight on Monday night — but not in the manner many supporters anticipated. The Egyptian star, who dazzled the football world last season with 34 goals and 23 assists while helping Liverpool to Premier League glory, was ranked only fourth-best player in the world at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris.

In spite of his outstanding campaign, Salah was beaten to the top three by Paris Saint-Germain’s Vitinha, Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, and eventual winner Ousmane Dembélé. Opting not to attend the glamorous event, the Liverpool icon quietly stayed focused on preparations for the ongoing season, where he has already produced three goals and three assists.

💬 How Liverpool responded:
Soon after the announcement, Liverpool’s official account shared a touching tribute to their number 11 with the caption: “A season to savour from Salah ❤️”. The post quickly gained attention, with teammates Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, and Ryan Gravenberch all hitting the like button. Former Red Luis Díaz also showed his support.

🌍 Voices of support beyond Anfield:
Former Egypt international Mido was outspoken, stating Salah “deserved to be crowned after everything he’s given to world football.”
Egypt’s national team boss, Hossam Hassan, applauded Salah’s journey, noting: “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 supporters — whether in Egypt, Liverpool, or around the world — the Ballon d’Or result feels like yet another disappointment. Many believe that consistent performances in the toughest league in football, combined with his relentless excellence, should have earned him the title.

Although debate over Dembélé’s victory rages on, one fact remains certain: Salah’s standing as one of the greats of the modern game is unquestionable. His impact goes far beyond silverware — he embodies determination, inspiration, and pride for millions.
