Mohamed Salah is one of five Liverpool players nominated for awards for this year’s Ballon d’Or, while Arne Slot has also been nominated for Coach of the Year. The Egyptian enjoyed a remarkable season for the Reds, recording 34 goals and 23 assists from 52 appearances as he helped fire his side to the Premier League title.

There is no place on the shortlist for last year's winner Rodri, though, after he spent most of last season on the sidelines after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury

Dembélé is being considered as the top choice for the award, given Paris Saint-Germain's victory in the Champions League in Munich against Inter Milan. Besides this, the side also bagged the Ligue 1 and their domestic cup. Other frontrunners for the honor include Yamal, Raphinha and Salah.
