Mohamed Salah's bid for the 2025 Ballon d'Or has suffered a major blow after Liverpool's
00:07
Champions League exit, with Thierry Henry naming Rafinha as the new front-runner.
00:14
Salah had been the early favourite thanks to his sensational form for Liverpool this season.
00:20
However, their penalty shoot-out loss to PSG in the Champions League last 16 has seen his
00:27
chances plummet. The Egyptian forward missed key chances on the night, and with Liverpool
00:34
out of Europe's elite competition, his case for football's most prestigious individual award
00:41
has weakened significantly. Salah's decline in the Ballon d'Or race highlights how much
00:48
Champions League success influences voting. While he remains a dominant force in the Premier League,
00:55
Liverpool's European elimination may prove costly.
01:26
Meanwhile, Barcelona's continued success gives Rafinha platform to strengthen his case,
01:41
alongside other contenders like Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.
01:48
With Rodri out of contention due to injury, the race remains open. But for Salah, what once
01:54
looked like a golden opportunity now appears to be slipping away. If Liverpool don't win the
02:01
Premier League, his chances of claiming the Ballon d'Or could disappear entirely.
02:08
However, with their huge gap at the top, he will certainly still be in the race.
