Former Liverpool full-back Jose Enrique has backed Mo Salah to win this year's Ballon d'Or prize with Champions League success
Liverpool have witnessed trophy laden campaigns this season, winning the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, and coming close to winning a second Premier League title in three years.
Already won the Football Writers Association's Footballer of the Year award and crowned the Premier League top scorer for the 2021-2022 season, Salah is backed to win the Ballon d'Or prize should the Reds add the Champions League trophy to their cabinet comes Saturday night.
"To be honest with you, if Liverpool win the final and he (Mohamed Salah) scores, he will probably win the Ballon d’Or this year," Enrique said to bettingexpert.com .
"And if (Karim) Benzema scores and Real Madrid win the final, Benzema will probably win the Ballon d’Or."
"So it's a lot for Salah, but I think, like he's done many, many times he’s going to step up and I understand his feelings for what happened in the previous final against Madrid."
