5 players who could break Neymar's dream of winning the Ballon d'Or

Real Madrid v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg
Neymar will face some stiff competition for the Ballon d'Or award in the future

#1 Mohamed Salah

Liverpool v Chelsea - Premier League
Mohamed Salah is leading the race for European Golden Boot.

No player has played in their debut season at their club as Mohamed Salah is playing for Liverpool this season. The Egyptian has been a revelation since his move and has scored 36 goals in all competitions for the club.

When Liverpool initially signed him, Mohamed Salah was attacked by critics for his Chelsea spell and was labelled as a flop even before playing any game for Liverpool. But he started his life brilliantly at Anfield and has proved all his critics wrong with some exceptional performances.

Mohamed Salah is leading the race for the European Golden Shoe this season and has scored more goals in the league than even players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He has won the Premier League Player of the Month on three different occasions this season.

Mohamed Salah has previously been compared with Lionel Messi and if he continues to perform at the same level, he may compete with him for the Ballon d'Or award. He also won the African Footballer of the Year award in 2017.
