The star of the year,  Liverpool footballer Mo Salah, took home the ‘Man of The Year’ award from the region’s GQ Middle East magazine.

The prestigious awards ceremony took place at the fabulous Louvre in Abu Dhabi, where other big names like Aladdin’s leading star, Mena Massoud and newcomer model Mariano Diviano were present.

The 27-year-old had been featured in the magazine’s cover spread in December 2019, and it’s incredible to see the success after success he keeps achieving since- adding this one to the large pile.

This was the venue where the GQ Awards took place on Monday night
