Cristiano Ronaldo is slipping out of the running for the Ballon d'Or following Liverpool's success in the League Cup final this weekend.
Before the Wembley showpiece, the Manchester United star was among the favourites for the top award with the bookies alongside Mohamed Salah. Both men were priced at 6/1 just behind PSG's Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski who were at 5/1.
However, after the Reds lifted the trophy following a thrilling penalty shootout against Chelsea, Salah's stock has risen among punters and the Egyptian has now become the sole favourite for the award at 4/1. Ronaldo, meanwhile, has suffered a dramatic drop in his chances of winning the coveted award.
