Three Mohamed Salah moments for Liverpool that show he simply has to win Ballon d’Or
Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah is now one of the best players in the world, and was the best in England last season.
Salah helped carry Liverpool to the Premier League title last season after a truly outstanding individual campaign which saw him sweep up several awards.
The Egyptian enjoyed his best campaign yet as Salah’s goals and assists fired Liverpool to the title in a relentless run of form across the whole season.
With Salah up against the likes of Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele for the Ballon d’Or award, three incredible Liverpool moments over the last year shows why he deserves to win it.
Mohamed Salah’s Premier League dominance
Salah was a level above everyone else in the Premier League last season, and his complete dominance over the individual awards proves this.
- Salah won the Golden Boot after scoring 29 league goals in 38 games.
- The attacker also won the playmaker award, with 18 assists.
- The Egyptian won the PFA Player of the Year, as well as several other ‘best player’ awards.
The Liverpool star had a clean sweep of all the individual awards after winning the Premier League title, and having equalled the record for the most goals and assists in a single campaign, it is hard to remember a player dominating the league like Salah did.

Mohamed Salah’s relentless run
Salah was consistently brilliant last season, and one particular run of games will live long in the memory as one of the highest peaks ever seen from a Liverpool player.
Between October 20 and January 5, Salah played in 12 Premier League games, and remarkably, provided at least a goal or an assist in every single one.
Starting with a goal and an assist against Chelsea, and finishing with a goal against Man United, Salah provided 23 goals and assists in these 12 games, a truly ridiculous record unmatched by anyone else in Europe.
Big moments were made for Mohamed Salah
Liverpool’s Premier League title victory was fairly straightforward thanks to Salah’s brilliance, but he also stepped up in the biggest games to make his mark against the best teams.
A remarkable 6-3 victory away at Tottenham saw Salah provide two goals and two assists, and he followed this up with a goal in the 5-1 win which confirmed Liverpool as champions in the reverse fixture.
Salah also equalised late on away at Arsenal, while scoring against every single ‘big six’ side in the Premier League.
In these 10 games against the supposedly best teams in the league, Salah provided 16 goals and assists, with four of them coming against Manchester City, showing that he was indeed truly unstoppable.
