Mohamed Salah is having a standout season with Liverpool, reinforcing his status among Africa's football elite. Despite his impressive goal-scoring record, debate surrounds his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, primarily because he plays for Egypt, which lacks major tournament stature. Jamie Carragher recently noted that while Salah is having a spectacular season akin to Messi and Ronaldo, his Ballon d'Or prospects are dimmed without a major tournament win, like the Champions League, or a standout performance in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Salah is at a disadvantage playing for Egypt in terms of him winning the Ballon d'Or. If Salah had an average season at LFC but won the AFCON, I don't think he'd win.
This season has been remarkable for Salah, proving he remains one of the EPL’s all-time great players and contending for Africa's best footballer title.
