Thirty-one, this is the number of balloons lost by Mohamed Salah Tuesday evening in Anfield, during the round of 16 return from the Champions League lost by Liverpool against PSG (0-1). A real shipwreck for the Reds striker who, if he scored his shot to the goal, has never really weighed in the debates, passing through these two matches in front of the Parisians.
Of course, the elimination of the LFC is not in its own fact, but its status as favorite in the Ballon d'Or 2025 placed it in the center of expectations and it did not respond. Result: the “pharaoh” has undoubtedly lost much more than a simple ticket for the quarters. It is in any case the opinion of Walid Achechour, which fell the Egyptian international on the set of Winamax FC.
Mohamed Salah, a service deemed “abominable”
“It is obvious, for me, there is a double confrontation which is abominable for a player of his standing, for a player who does that season, who is extraordinary with Liverpool in the Champions League and in the Premier Leaguejudge the journalist. If he is really the best player in the world we saw during this double confrontation, football is going very badly. »»
“Whether technically, in decision -making, in defensive contribution and in leadership, it's zero pointedsupports the one who is also a commentator on Dazn.
On the double confrontation, Nuno Mendes was much more in difficulty over a minute against Harvey Elliott (goalscorer, editor's note) only on 210 minutes against Mohamed Salah. It is not possible. »»
“He lost the Ballon d'Or”
For him, “We cannot judge Mohamed Salah as another player”. Its level has been such since the start of the exercise that “If he misses, we have to say it and be hard with him”. Hard but just:
“Even if he has an extraordinary season, at some point there are big matches with a big coefficient. You can't miss out in large widths like that. »»
This huge personal and collective hiccup may deprive him of the Ballon d'Or 2025, of which he was the big favorite.
“Often there is a little problem to get it the Ballon d'Or with himregrets Waild Acherchour. It is often said that it deserves it. But there, for me, he lost the Ballon d'Or and lost the Champions League. It won't take off her great season, but it's a stain. »»
