Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has declared that the ongoing season marks his strongest shot yet at winning the prestigious Ballon d’Or, following a stellar campaign that saw him play a pivotal role in the club’s success.
Salah, 32, has been in sensational form, racking up 28 goals and 18 assists, helping Liverpool reclaim the Premier League title and bolstering his claim for the Golden Boot.
The Egyptian international shared his thoughts in an interview with Sky Sports, reflecting on the magnitude of his achievements this season:
“I would say I never had a season like this, especially with winning big trophies. So I would say this is my best chance to get it right now while I’m at the club because it’s been a crazy year, a crazy season with a trophy.”
With the Ballon d’Or winner set to be announced on September 22, Salah is considered a frontrunner but faces fierce competition from Ousmane Dembélé of Paris Saint-Germain and Lamine Yamal, the teenage sensation lighting up Barcelona.
As the countdown begins, football fans around the globe are eager to see if Salah will finally clinch the individual accolade that has long eluded him.
