Liverpool have an incredible player who could win the Ballon d'Or very soon.

In the history of the Reds, there's only been one Ballon d'Or winner. There should have been more. Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk have definitely made a case for it in the past.

But they existed in a world where Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were superhuman. They were impossible to stop from winning those Ballon d'Ors, they were simply in a league of their own.

So, that means Liverpool's only Ballon d'Or winner to date is Michael Owen. Yes, Michael Owen. Not Steven Gerrard, not Kenny Dalglish or Ian Rush but Owen.

A player whose legacy at Anfield is very much tarnished by the way he left for Real Madrid and then joined Manchester United.

The era of Ronaldo and Messi is coming to an end now though. Both of them are fizzling out of the elite level and there's a new generation looking to win their fair share of the accolades.

Kylian Mbappe is probably at the forefront. He will be one of the favourites to win the award this year. Harry Kane will be another.

After Rodri and Ousmane Dembele having won the award, the Ballon d'Or is certainly a lot more attainable for anyone.
