Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Salah's previous standing as the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or has fallen as Barcelona duo Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, plus Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe, have all continued to perform deep into the season. Additionally, Salah has failed to score in his last four games and has not scored a goal from open play since February 24. Slot has now explained Salah's goal drought of late.
GettyWHAT SLOT SAID
Speaking to the media, Slot said: "Sometimes the fixture list is more difficult than at other periods. PSG are one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. Newcastle were all over us in the Carabao final and Everton were so difficult with 10 people in their own 18-yard box all the time.
"I know Mo, he lives for goals. It would be weird if he was happy not scoring but probably his biggest quality is he can play a poor game and still score so his head is not all over the place. That is why he scores so many, because he wants it so much. Yes, there were probably periods this season he smiled a bit more but that's not just him, it's all the players."
