Robert Lewandowski is certain that PSG star and world champion Lionel Messi will win the Ballon d’Or
One reason for his move from FC Bayern to FC Barcelona was for Robert Lewandowski also the desire to finally win the Ballon d’Or. However, the train for the upcoming award seems to have left. The attacker is already sure who will win the prize.
With the premature Champions League-It was already clear from FC Barcelona that Robert Lewandowski would not win the Ballon d’Or. The attacker also didn’t play such a strong World Cup with Poland, which put him further behind.
Of course, this is not the case for Lionel Messi at all. The superstar propelled Argentina to the World Cup as Player of the Tournament and looks set to be the next Ballon d’Or winner. Robert Lewandowski agrees.
“Of course. There might be another player playing for the same club – but there is only one World Cup that decides who gets him [den Ballon d’Or] will win this season,” explained Lewandowski in an interview with the Spanish sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo.
Lewy is referring to Kylian Mbappé, who, like Messi, played a great tournament and a great final, but ultimately failed to win the title. There can be little doubt that messi and Mbappé are currently the best players individually. Since both play in the same club, it can’t happen that one can pull away from the other by winning the Champions League. Accordingly, world champion Messi has a clear advantage.
“Leo is definitely at the top now because he has achieved everything that means everything to him,” said the Polish top forward.
Bayern prevent Messi from Ballon d’Or? Haaland and Benzema in wait
Only a Champions League KO by PSG against Bayern could still cause a little excitement. The only question is who else could outshine Messi? Erling Haaland and Karim Benzema are probably the most promising candidates, but overall they hardly have a chance. As well as when the GOAT has just been able to refine his career with the World Cup.
Robert Lewandowski now has to be patient and wait for his chance next year. Benzema and Messi have proven that he is not yet too old for the Ballon d’Or title.
