The last time a player from an English team won the Ballon d'Or was 10 years ago. In the 2007-08 season, Cristiano Ronaldo and M.U won the Champions League and scored 42 goals. The Ballon d'Or title at that time belonged to the Portuguese superstar. Since then, after 9 more awards, CR7 has won 4 more times while the remaining 5 times belonged to Messi.
Salah has 43 goals and is 1 goal ahead of Ronaldo's record. The Egyptian striker has at least 4 more matches to increase his achievements. However, the final destination must be the Champions League title. With a 5-2 victory in the first leg of the semi-final against AS Roma, Liverpool considered having one foot in the final.
Not only did Salah take the opportunity to score by himself, the support of James Milner, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane for this striker was great. If necessary, Fimino or Mane are willing to sacrifice for their teammates to score. That has been proven through Firmino's assists in the Champions League this season, which have reached 6.
In addition to the Champions League, Salah also has a ticket to the 2018 World Cup after scoring the decisive goal to bring the Egyptian team to Russia this summer. Salah has had a chance to perform at the biggest playground in the world and the striker certainly doesn't want to miss it.
With a series of miracles done since the beginning of the season, Salah will have a busy summer in the transfer market when the big guys will put him in the target market.
The price of 50 million euros when he leaves Roma for Liverpool will increase rapidly and it is unknown, a "bomb" similar to the Neymar case will explode this summer.
