Barcelona & Real Madrid stars included in Ballon d’Or top-5 power rankings | OneFootball

Leading members of the attacking ranks at La Liga’s two biggest clubs have been included in the top-5 in the latest power rankings for the next Ballon d’Or.

That’s according to Goal, a go-to source when it comes to the topic.

Leading the way, altogether unsurprisingly, is Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who finds himself in the midst of nothing short of a historic campaign to date.

The Egyptian has racked up 20 goals and 17 assists in 26 appearances across all competitions thus far.

From here, three of the next four are currently plying their trade in Spain.

Sitting 2nd in Real Madrid standout Vinícius Jr, recently beaten to the 2024 ‘Golden Ball’ by Manchester City midfielder Rodri.

Rounding out the podium places, meanwhile, is Barcelona wide-man Raphinha, in the midst of what is considered by many to be the most fruitful stretch of his career.

4th-place is taken by Bayern Munich starlet Jamal Musiala, with another Barcelona frontman, in Robert Lewandowski, recognised for his 23 goals across all competitions this season with a spot in 5th.
