Salah only managed to laugh when he was consulted by Messi and the Ballon d’Or | VIDEO

This week, the 2021 Ballon d’Or gala was held in France and the winner was Lionel Messi, who took the award for the seventh time in his career. Although for many the award was deserved, there was also a sector that did not consider it fair, taking into account that Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema and other athletes also had favoritism.

Precisely, the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, star of Liverpool, was part of the list of applicants for this annual recognition, although in the end he could only reach seventh place. A few days after the ceremony, the forward was consulted on the matter and his reaction generated much surprise.

Last Wednesday, after the ‘Reds’ match against Everton for the Premier League, the skilled footballer was interviewed by Amazon Prime and asked for an opinion on Lionel Messi’s triumph in the Ballon d’Or.

After hearing the question, Mohamed Salah only decided to give a big laugh and said: “I do not comment, I have no comment on it”. The Egyptian’s response went around the world in a few moments and many of his followers have agreed that it is a way of revealing their dissatisfaction with the result that France Football gave on the best player of the year.
