Football legends Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards have shared their predictions for who could win the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

According to the trio, the prestigious individual award may go to either Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah or Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr.

They believe both players are the frontrunners for the coveted title in 2025.

Despite his contract situation at Anfield, Salah has continued to perform at an elite level.

This season alone, the Egyptian international has scored 26 goals and provided 18 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.

His impressive form has helped keep Liverpool at the top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League standings.

Vinicius, on the other hand, has continued his excellent form from last season, delivering consistent performances for Real Madrid.

The Brazilian winger has contributed 16 goals and 11 assists in 30 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

The 2024 Ballon d’Or sparked controversy, with many claiming that Vinicius was overlooked when Spain’s Rodri received the award in Paris.

While Vinicius is on track to surpass his record from last season, Salah’s stellar form has firmly placed him in contention for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

The former football stars, who were on punditry duty for CBS Sports during Real Madrid’s match against Manchester City at the Etihad, were asked by presenter Kate Abdo for their opinions on the race for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

Carragher immediately responded, “Mohamed Salah!” Henry agreed with his fellow pundit, saying, “I’m with Jamie, yeah, if he carries on like that.”

Richards added, “He (Vinicius) is my mate but probably Salah as well.”

Henry, the former Arsenal goal machine, then suggested that team success could play a role in determining the winner.

He added, “It depends on what they will win.”
