From Dembele to Salah: six contenders in an open race for men's Ballon d'Or
Briefly

Mohamed Salah's remarkable performance has positioned him as a prime candidate for the Ballon d'Or, reminiscent of George Weah's achievement. He scored 29 goals and assisted 18 in a year leading Liverpool to the Premier League title but fell short in the Champions League. Meanwhile, players like Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are also making headlines after impressive seasons and contributions to their clubs. This season could be pivotal for Salah as he approaches 33, potentially marking his last opportunity in pursuit of this prestigious accolade.
If there's ever a chance for him, it would be this season. If not, then he's going to try to push even harder next season.
His pace and skill have traumatised defenders alongside that of Desire Doue this year's vote might come too early for the talented teenager.
Everyone has known about Kvaratskhelia's qualities for a long time; that ability to be impactful in crucial matches is recognized.
Dembele makes beating defenders look easy, scoring 21 goals in 29 Ligue 1 appearances in the process.
