Salah with 2 goals so far, and and 2 assists, 62nd minute Ballon d'Or for Salah?

Let's begin by saying, if you were picking a fantasy league, Salah would not be your first/second player chosen. With that said and though Messi and Ronaldo between them have lifted the last 10 Ballon d’Or trophies, I think the high level of play we've come to expect from both of them, will finally work against them. They would have to do something phenomenal to trend higher than Salah. Salah has the name recognition, all you have to do is say Salah and everyone knows whom you're referring to. He's got the club recognition YNWA, he's trending towards the UCL final. Plus he consistently delivers against the darling of the EPL(Man City) and against the "best of the best" in the UCL. He's already won the PFA Player of the Year by his peers. He's scored 30+ goals in EPL and almost 10 I believe in the UCL. Those are not easy to do. Finally, in football you don't win trophies for being on a loser team. It's just a fact. If he were to make it into the finals of the UCL and win or have a phenomenal game in a loss, the engraver for the Ballon d’Or better get to work breaking the hold Messi & Ronaldo have on the the award.

I think if Messi or Ronaldo win the World Cup this summer they’ll be certain for the Ballon D’or. If not it’ll probably go down to who lifts the champions league. It’ll be hard to argue with Salah if he can guide Liverpool to the trophy. I just feel that the World Cup would be the only thing that could scupper him winning it.
Ronaldo has scored 15 in the champions league so far and some big big goals too. Messi has also gone unbeaten in La Liga and scored bags of goals.
The odds at the moment:
Ronaldo 1/1 Salah 2/1 Messi 5/2
