The last 48 hours have been on discussions about Mohamed Salah and his chances of winning the 2025 Ballon d’Or, based on his form for Liverpool, who are getting closer to winning the Premier League title, as the Egyptian King is leading the charge.

- Mo Salah is the first player in Premier League history to register 40+ goal involvements in TWO different seasons.
- Mo Salah is the first player in Europe’s top five leagues to be directly involved in 50 goals across all competitions in 2024/25.
- Mo Salah has now scored AND assisted in 11 Premier League games this season, the most by a player in a single season in one of Europe's big five leagues since Lionel Messi for Barcelona in 2014/15 (11).
- Mo Salah has provided more assists in 2024/25 than any other Liverpool player has in a single Premier League campaign (16).
- Mo Salah is the first player in Premier League history to score AND assist in both games against the reigning champions in a season.
- Mo Salah is the first player to score 25+ goals and register 15+ assists in a Premier League season.
