Continuing from where I stopped in the part 1. As you can already notice, this first 2 parts have been filled with mostly liverpool players showing you how dominant Liverpool were last season and this season as well. This season didn’t begin as smoothly as they would have loved it to, but they are still in a great position at the moment and are looking really good so far.
Sadio Mane
He is probably one of the strong favorites to win the award if it coming to the premier league maybe next year or so. He has been tremendous for Liverpool since he joined the club, causing havoc down the left-hand side with his high energy and amazing qualities on the ball. In my opinion, he is probably the most important player in the Liverpool attack as if he is absent, you can clearly see that he will be missed. This past season has been fantastic for the Senegalese, helping Liverpool alongside his fellow team mate Virgil van Dijk to win the club most prestigious trophy and their first ever premier league title in their history. His immense contribution to Liverpool's successful season saw him nominated for the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award and also was named in the PFA Team of the Year and was also. With all these and outcome from his African Cup of Nations campaign which is still on going for him, could greatly influence his position in the ranking.
Mohamed Salah
If the Ballon d’ or award in coming to the premier league, then Liverpool have the most chances of one of their players not only making it in the top 3 positions but also stand a great chance of pulling off the number 1 spot. Salah has been one of Liverpool’s best performers since he joined the club 2 seasons ago… scoring goals and being one of the goalscoring options in the potent front 3. Last season was one of the standout seasons for the Egyptian in terms of personal achievements, scoring an incredible amount of goals that saw the Reds reach the champions league final after a long time. This season on the other hand, has been good for Salah in terms of what he has done so far, winning the champions league for the first time in his career last 2 seasons, helping the team win their first ever premier league title. His overall contribution to Liverpool could influence his ranking on the Ballon d’or players’ hierarchy.
Raheem Sterling
Sterling has been one of the young English talents that caught the eyes of many since joining Man City. Last season was no different as he emerged as one of the best players in the Premier League, collecting quite a number of personal awards for his major contribution to Man success so far, helping the team make history by winning the domestic treble. However, Man City’s failure to win any European trophy could be a drawback factor for the English man, but nevertheless, his immense performances and goal contributions for Man City could shoot him up the Ballon d’ or ranking and could possibly put him in a position to become one of the premier league players to make it into the Ballon d’ or top 3 this year.
