Liverpool boss Arne Slot says the Reds will do everything possible to help Mohamed Salah win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
The Dutch tactician made this known ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
He said, “It would make his chance only bigger but the last one who won it, I think he (Rodri) only won the league and not the Champions League. It is not only about the amount of prizes you win but I think all of the ones that won it in the past probably – I am not 100 per cent sure – won either the league or the Champions League.

“But in football it’s always like this: you need the team to win an individual prize, and that’s what Mo understands at the moment really well because his work-rate, especially in the second half but almost during the whole game, was very good and very helpful for us to have a chance to win the game against City.”
“It’s a good thing that Mo is in the discussion because it means he does well and it means we are doing well. But for him to stay in that discussion, he should bring in the same performances as he’s done for seven or eight months now. I think in general, someone that wins the Ballon d’Or needs to win something as well, so it is a great challenge in front of us but also in front of him.”
