Despite missing out on the top prize, Salah climbed to **4th place in the 2025 Ballon d’Or rankings** — his highest finish ever. For a player who has carried Liverpool with brilliance, consistency, and pride, this marked a new milestone in his glittering career.
Liverpool’s official response? Just six words.
> **“A season to savour from Salah.”**
The Reds accompanied the message with photos of their talisman on X, celebrating the Egyptian King’s record-breaking year. And what a season it was.

## “Give Him What He Deserves”
Even before the ceremony, Salah had strong public backing. Former Tottenham and Egypt striker **Mido** passionately appealed on social media:
> *“Be fair to him just for one time and make it happen this year!! Give him what he deserves.”*
But the dream wasn’t to be. At 33, Salah may be edging into the twilight of his career, yet his fourth-place finish cements him among the world’s best — and offers a reminder that he remains Liverpool’s beating heart.
## What’s Next for the Egyptian King?
While he didn’t attend the Paris ceremony, Salah’s focus is clear: keeping Liverpool at the top. The Reds have started the new season with five straight Premier League wins, and Salah looks as hungry as ever.
For Liverpool fans, the six-word message summed it up perfectly. Titles, goals, assists, and now a personal Ballon d’Or best — truly **a season to savour from Salah.**
