Mohamed Salah Backs Arsenal Star for Ballon d’Or After Liverpool’s UCL Exit
Liverpool’s Champions League campaign came to a disappointing end after their elimination by Paris Saint-Germain. Following the defeat, Mohamed Salah has admitted that his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or are now over.
However, the Egyptian forward has turned his attention to another potential winner—an Arsenal player. In a surprising twist, Salah believes this player has outshined even Barcelona’s Raphinha in terms of work rate in the Champions League this season. While many would expect him to name Bukayo Saka or rising star Ethan Nwaneri, Salah’s choice is neither of them.
His endorsement has sparked discussions among football fans, with many now eager to see who Salah considers the most deserving candidate for the prestigious award. Arsenal’s impressive performances in Europe this season have already drawn praise, and Salah’s recognition only adds to the excitement surrounding the club.
As the race for the Ballon d’Or heats up, Salah’s statement could boost the reputation of this Arsenal star. With outstanding displays on the big stage, could this unexpected nominee go on to claim football’s most coveted individual prize? Time will tell.
