Mohamed Salah has been in remarkable form throughout the 2024/25 campaign so far.
The Egypt international has incredibly scored 16 goals and provided 13 assists in just 23 appearances this season – a total most players would be happy with for the entire campaign, let alone half of it.
At the time of writing, the Liverpool No.11’s efforts have helped the Reds sit top of both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
However – when voting for FIFA’s The Best award – Harry Kane overlooked Mohamed Salah in favour of a different Premier League player.
Sky Sports have revealed how Lionel Messi, Virgil van Dijk, the Bayern Munich No.9 and Salah himself voted in FIFA’s The Best award.
Interestingly, Kane opted for Rodri – not even putting Salah in his top three as Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior followed in that order.
The Egyptian opted for Vinicius Junior, Rodri and Dani Carvajal – while Messi plumped for Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior respectively.
Van Dijk chose Rodri, Vinicius Junior and Erling Haaland.
Of course, the lack of any major silverware last season hurts Salah – who PSG want – in these sort of award ceremonies, although it must be remembered that these are individual prizes.
The man from Nagrig scored 25 goals and provided 14 assists in 44 appearances last season, which is more than Vinicius Junior managed in both respects (24 goals and 11 assists in 39 games)…
