Mohamed Salah for Ballon d'Or? Messi & Ronaldo have a new rival

The Ballon d'Or has been Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's personal property for the last decade, but that might just be changing this year.

Mohamed Salah has been an unstoppable force for Liverpool, netting 43 goals in all competitions in one of the greatest debut seasons in football history.

That is more than both Ronaldo (42) and Messi (40) have managed this season.

In the process Jurgen Klopp's men have strolled into the Champions League semi-finals and also look set to finish in the top four of what has been an extremely hard-fought Premier League in 2017-18.
