5 Reasons why Salah deserves to win the Ballon d'Or

Huddersfield Town v Liverpool - Premier League
The red-hot Mo Salah!

#3 The European crusade

Liverpool v A.S. Roma - UEFA Champions League Semi Final Leg One
The Egyptian scored twice against his former side.

Mo Salah's current crusade in Europe's most elite competition is rivalling the one that came about when the Romans tried to reclaim their holy land from Muslim rule.

In the 21st era though, it is the Egyptian who is doing all the pillaging as he blazes through the competition in each stage of the competition.

In the 11 games that he has been involved in for Liverpool, he has scored 10 and assisted another 4, wreaking havoc in stadiums across Europe but even more devastatingly at Anfield.

Another stunning curler of the highest order to get the scoring underway followed by the consummate dink over Allison, making the latter look rather amateurish. We wouldn't have bet against him completing the hat-trick but was unceremoniously substituted by Klopp, following which the wheel started to come off the wagon for Liverpool.

This also epitomises the importance of the Egyptian's presence in the side for the Reds.
