Here's how we would vote for Ballon d'Or 2025 and other honors, whose nominees are set to be announced Thursday

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named on the Ballon d'Or shortlist alongside Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz, though the eventual award winner will not be confirmed until later in the calendar year.

Mohamed Salah is one of five Liverpool players nominated for awards for this year’s Ballon d’Or, while Arne Slot has also been nominated for Coach of the Year. The Egyptian enjoyed a remarkable season for the Reds, recording 34 goals and 23 assists from 52 appearances as he helped fire his side to the Premier League title.
