⭐ Ballon d'OF: our sixth place goes to... | OneFootball

The Ballon d'Or 2025 will be unveiled on September 22. On this occasion, the French editorial team of OneFootball participated in the voting to elect their Ballon d'OF for the 2024-25 season. Today, let's discover the player who ranks 6th in our ranking!

6️⃣ Mohamed Salah (Liverpool / EGY) - 32 pts

6th in the OneFootball Ballon: Mohamed Salah

Long considered last season as the ultimate contender for the Ballon d'Or, Mohamed Salah unfortunately experienced a more ordinary second half of the season, notably due to Liverpool's early elimination from the Champions League... but also, ironically, due to the lead taken by the Reds in the Premier League.

A lead that the Merseyside club owes largely to him! Because Mohamed Salah had an outstanding first six months, perhaps even one of the most memorable season starts in recent years. The first player in Premier League history to exceed ten goals and ten assists before Christmas, the Egyptian later equaled the historic record of the English championship for the highest number of goals and assists in a single season: 29 goals, 18 assists.

Performances that earn him a spot close to the top 5 of our Ballon d'OF...
