The recognition of Lionel Messi with his seventh Ballon d'Or continues to generate various reactions in the sports world.
Although many consider the Argentine to be a deserving winner, some were very critical of the award ceremony and mentioned that there were other athletes who had made more merits during the season.
Mohamed Salah was one of the favorites to win this award. After the match against Everton on Matchday 14 of the Premier League, the media sought the footballer to get some impressions about the seventh place he occupied in the event. "No comment," replied the African forward with a laugh to Amazon Prime.
Remember that the award given by France Football magazine was won by the PSG player, while the Egyptian was left behind by players like Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, Jorginho, N'Golo Kanté, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

On the other hand, the striker spoke about the 4-1 victory they inflicted on the Toffees in the city derby, a result that keeps them in the title race alongside Chelsea and Manchester City.
"It's a great result. Being visitors, playing good football, and winning the match is something positive. The score is great. We also scored five against Manchester United, and hopefully we can keep it up," he said at the end of the game.
