Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes his team need to win a trophy this season for Mohamed Salah to have a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or.
Salah is the favourite to claim the individual prize after enjoying a stellar individual campaign for Liverpool.
The 32-year-old has already registered 30 goals and 21 assists in all competitions this season, having scored and assisted in the 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the weekend.
"It's mostly about attackers although the last winner was a midfielder [Rodri]," Slot said, when asked about the likelihood of Salah winning the award.

"It's a good thing Mo is in the discussion as that means he is doing well and that means we are doing well.
What I liked a lot is that he takes this challenge with a big goal and assist against City but defensive work-rate in second half particularly was outstanding and that is what it takes for us to have the chance to win something.
If we as a team win something he has a far better chance to win an individual prize like the Ballon d'Or."
