Will Messi or Ronaldo domination continue? Coral bookmaker claims You cannot exclude that possibility!

Football is a team sport, that is a truth without question. But we all know that despite putting Your team in front and playing together is one thing but noticing the individual performances of a single player is another. There is no football player that will not be happy to receive the Ballon d'Or award, after all, it is the dream of every football player on the globe. This prized individual football award has been granted to best players playing in Europe since 1956 by the France Football sports magazine. Among those who received it were such legends as Alfredo di Stefano, Franz Beckenbauer, George Best, Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff, Zinedine Zidane or Ronaldo Nazario.

But it must be said that for the last decade the competition has been dominated by the exciting rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Both players won the award 5 times, which will definitely be remembered by future generations and will be almost impossible to match or even beat. But for Coral online bookmaker analysts, nor Messi or Ronaldo are the clear favourites this year and it may be the time to give the award to new player, especially because there is one exceptional player who had a fantastic season at Liverpool, the fast-paced goal-scoring winger, Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian international is playing the season of his life and we can clearly see him among top three best players of this year. Salah was a great transfer for Liverpool and we doubt they would achieve their successes without him. His statistics are amazing, with 34 games in the English Premier League and 32 goals as well as 10 assists (Top goalscorer of the Premier League). While he scored ten times and got four assists in his eleven UEFA Champions League appearances before the final match against Real Madrid. If we add that Salah is the star of his national team and he almost single-handedly guided Egypt to the 2018 World Cup group stage qualification (he scored the extra-time penalty in the last match that secured their qualification), he seems like a serious contender for the 2018 Ballon d'Or, especially if Liverpool wins the Champions League and Egypt at least progresses from their group.

Last player that has some chances of winning the award in opinion of Coral online bookmaker experts is the Brazilian Neymar. But we want believe that this option should not be taken seriously as it is more because of player’s popularity, than his successes and performances this year. The bookmaker presented the odds for the PSG player mainly because of the publicity and to heat up some atmosphere before the award show. Even though Neymar had good start of the season in the weaker Ligue 1, in the most crucial moment of the season in matches with Real Madrid, he proved not worthy of the shocking amount of money PSG had to spend on him. Furthermore, he dropped from the squad for the latter part of the season due to an injury and therefore, he may not be in very good shape for the 2018 World Cup. We think that this options is definitely not worth the risk and it is very unlikely that Neymar will ever live up to his hype and potential. To sum up, out of Ronaldo, Messi or Salah, it will be a question of choosing between those two giants or making a bold decision and crowning the new king, or rather the pharaoh of football?
