Attacking star Mohamed Salah from Liverpool FC commented on the result at Ballon d’Or 2021, which Lionel Messi (PSG) ultimately won ahead of Robert Lewandowski (FC Bayern).
When asked if he had calculated more than just seventh place, Salah answered in an interview with the Egyptian TV station DMC: “It shocked me. But I can’t say anything about it. Nobody in the world would have thought that I would finish seventh, but that’s how it was.”
Salah nevertheless proud of his achievements
Nevertheless, the 29-year-old Egyptian is very proud of his achievements: “If you had asked ten years ago whether an Egyptian player had a realistic chance of winning the award for the best player in the world, the answer would have been no. Today the answer would be turn out differently.”
So far this season, Salah has 27 goals and ten assists in 32 competitive appearances. He and Liverpool still have a chance of winning the quadruple of the already won League Cup, English Championship, Champions League and FA Cup.
