Ballon D'or Rakings March 2018
#1 Leo Messi
In the summer, football pundits across the world were sure that Barcelona have no chance of winning anything this season. They had lost Neymar to PSG in the summer and were outclassed by Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España.
What they forgot was that they still had Lionel Messi. The Argentine has been on top of his game this season and is leading the club to the League title once again.In February, he managed to do something he's never done – score vs Chelsea. That goal has put Barcelona in the driver's seat in the Champions League tie.With 24 goals in La Liga alone this season, Messi has made sure that he's leading the race for the Ballon d'Or. Adding to that, he's got 13 assists in the league.
#2 Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly the best player in the Premier League this season. Liverpool might not be winning the title this season but they have definitely shown that they are serious contenders for it, mainly because of the Egyptian.
With 33 goals in 41 apps this season, Salah has surprised all. He was a flop during his first stint in the Premier League with Chelsea but has come back as a totally different player and is leading the attack for Liverpool.He scored 5 and assisted twice in his 4 appearances during the month of February and that has seen him rise in the rankings from 4th to second! Can he end up on the podium? Only time will tell.
#3 Neymar
Neymar has been absolutely killin' it in League 1 this season but the month of February was a tragic one for the Brazilian. For a player who scores and assists in almost all the games, Neymar managed just 2 goals and 2 assists in the whole month.
He went missing in their biggest game of the season – vs Real Madrid – and was unable to inspire the French side. He hs now undergone a surgery after he fractured his foot during PSG's 3-0 win over Marseille on February 25.He has the World Cup coming and it won't be a surprise if he manages to outshine Messi and Ronaldo on the grandest stage of them all and takes a huge step towards the Ballon d'Or.
#4 C'Ronaldo
After failing to make the list last months, Cristiano Ronaldo has jumped to the 4th spot just like that. The Real Madrid superstar had a stunning month and that saw him head back into the race for the Ballon d'Or.
He scored 8 goals and assisted one in 5 games last month. Moreover, he was instrumental in Madrid's Champions League clash against PSG – a competition Ronaldo never fails to deliver in!With 31 goals from 33 games in a season that has been labelled as his worst ever, Ronaldo is proving his critics wrong. Can he win the Ballon d'Or for the 3rd consecutive year? He's got 6 months to do what he does best to reach the top once again. @football @CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB
