Mohamed Salah reflects on Chelsea struggles as he aims for 2025 Ballon d'Or

Mohamed Salah struggled during his time at Chelsea, making only 19 appearances and scoring just two goals. After leaving in 2014, he found success on loan at Fiorentina, which led to a permanent move to Roma and later Liverpool. Cesc Fabregas, a former Chelsea teammate, noted that Salah's talent was evident, but he lacked opportunities at Chelsea. After his loan, Salah's career took off, and he is now a top player, aiming for the 2025 Ballon d'Or. In the current 2024/25 season, Salah has scored 20 goals and provided 17 assists, making him a standout player in the Premier League. He has become one of the league's all-time greats, highlighting Chelsea's missed opportunity.
