Few days after Mohamed Salah bagged England's Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award, the Egyptian has begun to stamp his striking power in Europe.
In the first leg semifinal of the European champions league at Anfield, the striker hit a brace as Liverpool whipped his former club AS Roma 5-2.
This has increased the Egyptian philomenon strike to 43 goals in 47 appearances this season.
"You've got to give him the Ballon d'Or," former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage told the BBC.
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler, nominated for the award in 1996, described Salah as a "phenomenal player".
And those big occasions keep on coming. If Liverpool can finish the job in Rome, a Champions League final in Kiev beckons.
weeks later, Salah will take his talents to the global stage, when he spearheads Egypt's attack at the World Cup in Russia. Same with Lionel Messi of Argentina, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and Brazilian Skipper Neymar.
