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

#1 Sheer consistency of his performances

Cannot stop scoring at the moment!

Even when the Egyptian has looked out of pace folwing the gruelling run in the season, he has managed to do what he does best - score goals.

The winger has been finding the back of the net in any competition and any game game he has been drafted in the startling line-up for. He has also come off the bench and influenced games for Liverpool, positively.

Compared to the two biggest contenders for the biggest individual prize in the game, Salah has kept up his level of performances right throughout the season.

Messi got off to a blistering start, with the world prepared to hand him his sixth Ballon d'Or with only a few months into the season. But owing to the heart-breaking exit at the hands of Roma in the previous rounds, his stock has definitely been hit, as far as the individual prize is concerned.

Conversely, Ronaldo had the slowest possible start to a campaign having scored only 4 goals in almost the entire opening half of the season. He has, however, roared back since the turn of the year and is on an unbelievable goal-scoring spree of 25 in his last 15.

The story of Mo Salah, however, has been constantly hitting the heights right through the season, exemplified by the fact that he has broken the record for the most number of Player of the Month awards in the Premier League with 3 to his name this season. Not a dull moment. Never a dull goal. Always breath-taking. Magnificent.

God-like.
