5 players who can break Ronaldo-Messi Ballon d'Or dominance this year

#1 Mohamed Salah

Salah has been a revelation since signing for Liverpool, with 30 Premier League goals to his name already.

Mohamed Salah is currently considered the biggest threat to the Ronaldo-Messi duopoly and no-one would have predicted the success which he's enjoying at Anfield.

The Egyptian is in brilliant form and has already netted 30 Premier League goals this season. The club's top goalscorer across all competitions, he has also played a vital part in their impressive run to the semi-finals of Europe's elite club competition.

The former Chelsea man has a tendency to shine in the big games and a huge chunk of his strikes this term have come against the big sides. He won the Champions League's Player of the Week award on three occasions and has also won three Player of the Month accolades in England's top tier - the most of any player in a single season.

With Liverpool currently excelling in the Champions League this term and Egypt having already sealed their place in the World Cup, Salah can ponder his chances to win the Ballon d'Or if he continues to maintain his impressive form all year long.
