Lineker’s New Twisted Take!…

In a plot twist wilder than a cat in a juggler’s convention, Gary Lineker has thrown a curveball to the Ballon d’Or narrative! The PSG intergalactic triumph with a 5-0 Supernova act over Inter Milan now sees Mohamed Salah, our Anfield magician, juggling flaming torches on the podium of favorites, but not quite catching all of them! With PSG’s galactic lineup leaping over Europe’s tallest defensive walls, Salah’s stellar season has stumbled across a few potholes in the final furlongs, like a champion racehorse forgetting its shoes!

Now, in an unexpected frenzy, Ousmane Dembele has cha-cha’d forwards as Lineker’s glittering favorite to grasp the gleaming orb! The king of dexterous dribbling, Dembele managed to Houdini his way to 33 goals and 15 assists in a season shinier than diamond-studded grass boots at a cosmic disco! Even though Dembele’s goalometer in domestic circuits froze more than a popsicle in a snowstorm, the Champions League stage was his theatrical release party!

Meanwhile, Salah’s frequent flyer miles took him on a topsy-turvy tour with Liverpool, as his final acts in the Premier League played out like a rusty violin. Despite orchestrating 57 goal involvements, against Dembele’s 33 in ‘le finale’, it seems the Champions League jukebox music held more gravity. Though Salah’s goal-haul dwarfs, the bookies are betting Dembele’s international twinkle toes and Nations League antics might just sprint him to gold, while Salah stares at the sparkling dance floor like a penguin at a beach party!
