Alisson said that Salah deserves this year’s Ballon d’Or award, but that can be said of some of the other contenders too. Speaking to Brazilian outlet TNT Sport (via the Mirror), the Liverpool goalkeeper said:
Alisson Becker named Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski as another player deserving of this year’s Ballon d’Or award. The Brazilian said:
However, Alisson said that he would be happy if his Liverpool teammate won the Ballon d’Or award this year. He said so because he thinks Salah is a great professional who works hard for the team. Alisson said in this regard:
Mohamed Salah could become Liverpool’s first Ballon d’Or winner since 2001
If Mohamed Salah wins the 2021 Ballon d’Or award, he will become the first Liverpool player to lift the prestigious accolade since Michael Owen did it in 2001. However, the 29-year-old winger is not one of the favourites for this year’s award.
That’s because Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Jorginho all have a better chance of winning the Ballon d’Or award this year. The closest Salah has come to winning the Ballon d’Or award was back in 2019. He finished fifth in the standings, behind Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and his Liverpool teammates Virgil Van Dijk and Sadio Mane.
Mohamed Salah has had an excellent start to his 2021-22 campaign. The Liverpool talisman has scored 15 goals in as many appearances across competitions so far this season.
