Liverpool -star Mohamed Salah, who led the Reds to the Premier League title last season, finished 4th in the Ballon d’Or Rankings this week.
The Egyptian attacker ended behind winner Ousmane Dembele, second placed Lamine Yamal and the third placed vitinha, Dembele’s teammate in Paris Saint-Germain.
Fans of Liverpool were angry with the outcome of the prizes and thought it was the year in which Salah deserved to win the biggest individual prize in football.
Perhaps this was the best chance of Salah to win the prize, given the season he had with the Arne Slot team.
Salah had 34 goals and 23 assists last season And it was his best personal season since his move to the Reds, but it wasn’t enough to win the Ballon d’Or for him.
Why did Mohamed Salah not win the Ballon d’Or
Football employees Jamie Carragher is of the opinion that not winning the Champions League played a role in Dembele who won the prize and did not win Salah.
Talk about The overlapsaid the former defender of Liverpool:
“I think I go back to something, I said something about Salah, it clearly caused a big storm at that time about the African head of nations.
“But I feel that whether we like it or not, the biggest trophies play a role. So normally around a world cup or a euro year, those who would get the player of the tournament would probably get the trophy.
“I think the Champions League plays a major role. I think that if Liverpool Paris Saint-Germain beats in that match, Liverpool might come to the Semi, maybe Win knows?
“He probably understands.”
Jamie Carragher is perfect with his analysis
The biggest tournaments play a major role in players who win such individual matches and we have seen that in the past.
Whether it was Luka Modric that in the year that Real Madrid won the Champions League and Croatia played the World Cup final or it was Lionel Messi who won when Argentina won the World Cup.
The domestic competition is a huge bonus, but the larger competitions, such as the World Cup or the Euro, or the Champions League plays a huge role.
Dembele won that with PSG and he had a crucial role for his team during the tournament.
