There is always something special about the Ballon d’Or.

Every year, football fans argue about who deserves it most.

Some say it should go to the player with the best numbers.

Others say it should go to the one who lifted the biggest trophies.

The truth is, the award is about both.

It is about who stood out and who carried their team in the toughest moments.

Liverpool supporters know this feeling very well.

They have watched Mohamed Salah deliver season after season.

They have seen him score when it mattered and create goals out of nothing.

Still, in most Ballon d’Or debates, his name is often left behind the usual favourites.

That is why it feels good to hear another world-class player show respect for Salah’s achievements.

This time, it is Lautaro Martinez who has spoken up.

The Inter Milan striker shared his thoughts on who should win the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

He was honest about the competition.

He pointed out PSG as one of the clubs with serious contenders.

“PSG has several strong candidates, like Hakimi or Dembélé,” he added.

But what stood out most was his admiration for Liverpool’s star.

Martinez made it clear that Salah deserves recognition.

“I have a lot of appreciation for Mohamed Salah?

He had an exceptional season and won the Premier League.”

“He’s truly a world-class player,” he said.

Salah’s numbers tell the story.

Under Arne Slot, in his first season in charge, Liverpool won the Premier League.

Salah played a decisive role in that success.

Across all competitions, he finished with 34 goals and 23 assists.

Those are not just good numbers.

They are the numbers of a player who defines a season.

While names like Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé are in the conversation, Salah has proven once again why he is one of the best.

And this time, Liverpool fans can point to Martinez’s words as proof.

Even rivals know it

Salah belongs in the Ballon d’Or race.
