Champions League Performance: Will Salah’s Ballon d'Or Hopes Fade?
One of the key factors in winning the Ballon d'Or is a player's performance in the UEFA Champions League. The further a player’s team advances, the higher their chances of winning the prestigious award.
Despite Mohamed Salah’s brilliance and Liverpool’s strong group-stage campaign, their Round of 16 elimination at the hands of PSG could significantly impact Salah’s chances of claiming the award. With the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Júnior still in the competition, their performances in the later stages could overshadow Salah’s achievements.
History shows that most Ballon d'Or winners have played a crucial role in their team’s deep Champions League runs. Liverpool’s early exit may weaken Salah’s case, even if he shines in domestic competitions.
Does Salah still have a chance at winning the Ballon d'Or, or will his Champions League exit cost him the award?
