Mohamed Salah picked up the Puskas Award at the Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in London on Monday night, but that will be of little consolation for his fans as he strangely missed out on the FIFA FIFpro World XI.
Normally, Salah's snub would have been accepted and people would simply accept that the players who did make it were simply better or had a better season. But, given the circumstances, they have a legitimate right to question his exclusion.
The Egyptian was among the final three for the overall best player, so being included in the World XI should have followed naturally.
