Mo Salah names outrageous dream five-a-side team as bold Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi call made

Mo Salah has revealed his dream five-a-side team and it is one of the most outrageous we've ever seen.

Ronaldo and Messi are widely considered as two of the greatest players ever, having dominated European football throughout the 2010s.

Although their influence has declined in recent years, with Messi now at MLS side Inter Miami and Ronaldo playing in Saudi Arabia for Al Nassr, they remain global icons for modern-day players.

Salah is no exception.

In a video with the official Ballon d'Or account on Instagram, which you can view below, the Liverpool and Egyptian star named both Messi and Ronaldo in his dream five-a-side lineup.

He also picked himself in the team, alongside Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazario in what is an incredibly top-heavy team.

Ronaldo is one of the greatest strikers ever and led Brazil to glory at the 2002 World Cup in the same year he won the Ballon d'Or.

The final place in Salah's side went to Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane's brace in the 1998 World Cup final helped France to a famous 3-0 victory over Brazil, as they won the World Cup for the first time.

The Frenchman, who was playing for Juventus at the time, also won the Ballon d'Or in the year of his World Cup triumph.

Although Salah's team is packed with an array of attacking talent, it does not include a defender or a goalkeeper.

It is a risky approach but one that would certainly involve lots of goals.

Could Mo Salah also win the Ballon d'Or?

Despite his excellent career, it appears unlikely that Salah will ever win the Ballon d'Or.

Last season was arguably the best of his career, as he scored 34 goals and provided 23 assists in 52 games for Liverpool.

Although he was unable to break Thierry Henry's assist record, Salah's creativity was a noticeable change in his playing style.

Although he had a fantastic season, Liverpool's early exit in the Champions League will cost him in the Ballon d'Or rankings.

They were knocked out in the last-16 to the eventual winners PSG, who went on to complete a treble.

It has left Ousmane Dembele as the strong favourite for the individual award.

Although Liverpool cruised to the Premier League title, the winner of the Ballon d'Or typically needs to perform on the international stage.

And with no major international tournament this summer, the Champions League holds extra weight.

Salah is also hindered in his pursuit of the Ballon d'Or by his nationality, as Egypt are highly unlikely to challenge for a World Cup.
