The Union of the European Football Associations (UEFA) has unveiled the list of nominees for the award of the best player of the third round of the Champions League. The list includes Egyptian Liverpool player Mohamed Salah.
Salah joined the list of nominees for the second time.
Salah led Liverpool to a 7-0 win over Sylvania’s Maribor, causing the Reds to go top of Champions League Group E. Salah scored two goals during the match and contributed in Liverpool’s historic win.
