Mo Salah scoops two alternative awards on same evening of Liverpool forward’s latest Ballon d’Or snub

Mo Salah was yet again overlooked for the Ballon d'Or award.

But the Liverpool forward scooped to other awards on the same evening as the showpiece event in Paris on Monday night.

Where did Salah finish in the Ballon d'Or?

In the 2020-21 season, Salah scored 31 times in 51 appearances for the Reds.

This term, he's taken his game to another level and plundered a staggering 17 goals in just 18 matches.

However, he could clinch only seventh place in the 2021 Ballon d'Or.

Salah garnered 121 points but was no match for Lionel Messi, who claimed the prize for a record seventh time.

Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich finished second and Jorginho bagged third, having helped Chelsea win the Champions League and Italy triumph in the European Championships.

What awards did Salah win?

Salah wasn't in attendance at the Ballon d'Or ceremony in the French capital.

He was instead in Monte Carlo, Monaco, to collect the Golden Foot award.

The Golden Foot is handed to players who stand out for their athletic achievements and their personality. It is only given to active players of at least 28 years of age and can only be won once.

Salah's wife collected the award on his behalf as he had to leave to return to Liverpool for training in the morning.

He’s the second African-born player to be given the prize after Samuel Eto'o.

The very same evening, ex-Roma winger was named Men’s Player of the Year at the Football Supporters’ Association Award in London . Almost 400,000 votes were cast.

It's the second time Salah won the gong.

Kevin Miles, chief executive of the Football Supporters’ Association, said: “There’s no doubt Mohamed is having another incredible year, the number and quality of his goals have once again lit up English football and contributed to Liverpool’s title push.

“As well as his on-field ability, Mohamed’s character has won support from fans across the game and he was a clear favourite among the voting public.”
