10 players who can win the Ballon d'Or 2018

#6 Antoine Griezmann

Greizmann is one of the three French players who could win the Ballon d'Or

Antoine Griezmann is one of the top strikers in the La Liga at the moment. He is a goal machine for both Atletico Madrid as well as France. Coupled with his traits of a poacher, Griezmann also has the ability to take on the opposition defence with his pace and dribbling ability.

Griezmann was also the top goalscorer for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. His attacking partnership with Giroud was key to France's 2nd World Cup victory. Hence, he is one of the top players in Europe and is one of the top sought out players in each and every transfer market.

A successful World Cup campaign might do the trick for him at this year's Ballon d'Or Awards.

#5 Mohamed Salah

A brilliant last season may help Salah win the Ballon d'Or this year

Mo Salah in 2017/18 with Liverpool had the best season in his career. His terrifying pace has certainly frightened top defences in the Premier League. Salah is a goal machine for Liverpool and won the Premier League Golden Boot last season scoring 30 goals.

He also led Liverpool to the Champions League final last season. An unfortunate injury in the final at the hands of Sergio Ramos denied Salah the opportunity to complete that match and also to play at the World Cup at his best.

Salah did play at the World Cup but was only a shadow of the man that we had seen the entire season. Hence, from the above stats, it is clear that Salah is one of the leading candidates to win this prestigious trophy.
