Ronaldo vs Salah
This final could decide the Ballon d'Or
In Cristiano Ronaldo, Real have their most potent weapon. He scored twice in last year's final, guiding Real Madrid to a 4-1 win over Juventus. But Liverpool will be no pushovers and will put their faith in Salah. Mo Salah has been equally impressive with 44 goals this season. If Liverpool win, Salah can break the duopoly of Messi and CR7 on Ballon d'Or.
