- Salah Rules Out Ballon d’Or Hopes, Backs Arsenal Star for the Award
Liverpool’s Champions League journey came to an end after a tough battle against PSG, and Mohamed Salah has conceded that his chances of winning the prestigious Ballon d’Or are now over. The Egyptian forward, who has been a key player for Liverpool, acknowledged that missing out on European success significantly diminishes his chances of claiming the individual honor.
However, Salah has now shifted his focus to another player, offering his support to an Arsenal star as a potential Ballon d’Or winner. Surprisingly, his choice is neither Bukayo Saka nor young sensation Ethan Nwaneri. According to Salah, this Arsenal player’s work rate in the Champions League this season has been exceptional, even surpassing that of Barcelona’s Raphinha.
While he did not explicitly name the player, his statement has sparked speculation among fans and football analysts. Many are now debating which Arsenal star has impressed Salah the most in Europe’s elite competition. With Arsenal making a strong return to the Champions League, it remains to be seen if Salah’s pick can truly contend for the Ballon d’Or.
One thing is clear—Salah recognizes talent when he sees it. His unexpected endorsement only adds to the excitement surrounding Arsenal’s standout performers this season.
