Mohamed Salah ridiculously comes in 7th at the Ballon d'Or

Let's be honest, the Ballon d'Or isn't exactly the most genuine of awards, but it's somehow considered a prestigious award, voted on by journalists, national coaches and captains.

Monday night saw Salah come in seventh, one behind Cristiano Ronaldo, with Lionel Messi taking his seventh title.

The top five were Chelsea midfielders, N'Golo Kante (5th) and Jorginho (3rd), and forwards Karim Benzema (4th), Robert Lewandowski (2nd) and Messi (1st).

Salah finished fifth in 2019, sixth in 2018, while last year's Ballon d'Or was canceled amid the pandemic.

Messi also won the 2019 award, beating Virgil van Dijk by just two votes.

These 2019 awards placed three Liverpool players in the top five, with Van Dijk in second, Sadio Mane in fourth and Salah in fifth. Alisson was seventh, with Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Gini Wijnaldum in the top 30.
