Mohamed Salah and the Ballon d'Or: The 2018 Season Egyptians Remember
Published
Egyptians follow world football awards with great interest, especially the Ballon d'Or, because Mohamed Salah's name is clearly linked to it. The importance of this award lies in the fact that it is given to the best player in the world during the year.
In 2018, Mohamed Salah scored 44 goals for the English club Liverpool and led the team to the Champions League final. That season was one of the most important of his career, and he achieved great numbers that kept his name present in the discussion about the world's best players.
However, Salah did not win the award that year. It went to the Croatian Luka Modrić after his success with Real Madrid, while Salah finished in second place. This ranking is among the highest positions a Egyptian player has reached in this award.
Thus, the 2018 season remains an important part of Mohamed Salah's history with the Egyptian national team and his club, and Egyptians continue to follow his news and achievements, especially when the time approaches for selecting the best player in the world.
