Liverpool winner champion league, salah get Don balon

Egyptian football superstar is predicted to break the dominance of Messi and Ronaldo. Appearing impressively throughout the season with Liverpool, Mohamed Salah is expected to lift the Ballon d'Or trophy if it succeeds in bringing the Reds to the ladder of Champions League champions.

The Manchester United star has scored 43 goals in all competitions in his debut season at Anfield and has just succeeded in bringing his team into the Champions League final to face Real Madrid.

Mark Lawrenson, who had beaten the Giallorossi with Liverpool in the European Cup final in 1984, believes there will be nothing to block Salah's move to the Ballon d'Or if he can contribute a trophy for the club this season.

"I've never seen anything like this, I'm talking about all the top foreign players who performed brilliantly in debut seasons like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Fernando Torres but Salah is much better than them," he told ECHO. Wrong to bring Liverpool champions, it would be difficult for them not to give the Ballon d'Or to him. For now, it's very difficult for anyone to outrun it. "
