Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk were not among the top 30 players named in the shortlist of 2024 Ballon d'Or nominees.

"The likes of [Artem] Dobyk and Ruben Dias and [William] Saliba got nominated, but not Virgil van Dijk or Salah," a user posted.



"This award has lost some serious credibility lmao."

Another shared that sentiment on X, formerly Twitter, posting: "They don't believe that Mohamed Salah is among the top 30 players in the world.

Fans were unhappy that neither Mohamed Salah nor Virgil van Dijk were included in the 2024 Ballon d'Or shortlist?

"Virgil van Dijk won Liverpool a trophy & scored in the final in his season as captain, is the best CB in the world, captained his NT to their first Euros semi final in 30 years & has multiple world class performances this season but didn't get nominated for a ballon d'or," the fan began.

"Meanwhile players who have won nothing, been to no finals, have no performances of note and have achieved nothing of note as a part of their team or as an individual all season have got a nomination.

Along with Salah and van Dijk, goalkeeper Alisson Becker and former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp were absent from the Ballon d'Or nominations
