Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah had another strong solo season in 2022/2023, scoring 30 goals in all competitions.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah finished 11th in the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
The Egyptian striker enjoyed another impressive goal-scoring season in 2022/2023, scoring 30 goals in 51 appearances in all competitions. Jurgen Klopp’s men had a rather poor performance in the Premier League, finishing fifth and thus qualifying for this season’s UEFA Europa League.
Mo failed to break into the top 10 this time after finishing fifth in 2022, while World Cup winner Lionel Messi was expected to win his eighth trophy in Moanco later in the day. Salah is the only Liverpool player to be selected this year after six of his teammates voted for the award in 2022.
Salah finished 11th, ahead of Robert Lewandowski, Yassin Bunu, Ilkay Gundogan and Emiliano Martinez. Salah did not attend the awards ceremony following Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield yesterday afternoon. His goal capped another impressive display for the Reds as Klopp’s side continued their impressive start to the new season.
Liverpool, who have lost just once to Tottenham, are also top in Europe. Salah has scored an impressive 10 goals in just 15 games in all competitions this season.
However, given the progress made by the Saudi Arabian Professional League last summer, speculation over the Egypt international’s future at the club continues to grow.
Liverpool have rejected a deal worth more than £200m for their star player.
