Liverpool had a classy message for Mohamed Salah after it was confirmed the forward had not won the Ballon d'Or award for 2025.
The Egyptian wasn't even voted for a place inside the top three.
It was a fourth-placed finish for the Liverpool No.11, who contributed a combined 57 goals and assists last season as his team lifted the Premier League trophy.
This is officially the highest Salah has ever finished in the rankings for the individual prize.
The Reds confirmed the news across their social media channels with a first post, but with a follow-up they had the perfect message for Salah, if he had been left downtrodden by the result.
The caption of the post read: "A season to savour from Salah," with a red heart emoji tagged on the end.
