Mohamed Salah made history by winning the PFA Men's Player of the Year award for a record third time on Tuesday (August 18). The Liverpool forward, who previously claimed the award in 2018 and 2022, eclipsed past multiple-time winners like Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, and Gareth Bale.

Salah's phenomenal 2024-25 season saw him score 29 goals and provide 18 assists, contributing significantly to Liverpool's Premier League title victory. Reflecting on his journey, Salah said, "I look at myself now, a guy coming from Egypt and making it to the top level, making history today, it's something that makes me so proud."

In the PFA Men's Young Player of the Year category, Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers claimed the award, becoming Villa's first winner of this honor since James Milner in 2010. Rogers emerged ahead of other young talents including Liam Delap, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Milos Kerkez, and Dean Huijsen.

On the women's side, Arsenal's Mariona Caldentey won the PFA Women's Player of the Year award after a standout season where she played a key role in helping Arsenal secure European glory. Additionally, her Arsenal teammate Olivia Smith was named the Women's Young Player of the Year, highlighting the club's strong presence in the women's game.

The PFA also unveiled the prestigious Teams of the Year for the Premier League, Women's Super League, EFL Championship, League One, and League Two.

Liverpool and Arsenal players dominated the Premier League Team of the Year, which included stars like Virgil van Dijk, William Saliba, Declan Rice, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, and Newcastle United's striker Alexander Isak, who made the team for his impressive performances this season.
