The organizers of the Ballon d'Or announced last July that the famous distinction rewarding the best footballer of the year would not be awarded this year given the upheaval of competitions by the Covid-19.
This news has ruined the hopes of Robert Lewandowski to succeed Lionel Messi, the Polish striker of Bayern Munich presenting himself as the big favorite with the coronation in the Champions League, the Bundesliga title and his avalanche of goals scored in recent months ( 59 goals in 53 matches).
“We won everything we could win with Bayern.
I've been the top scorer in all the competitions we've been to, the Bundesliga, the German Cup and the Champions League.
I think a player who has accomplished this would win the Golden Ball, ”said the scorer disappointed, reacting to the cancellation of the discount for 2020.
Lewandowski accepts the trophy with humor
In the absence of gold, Lewandowski will be satisfied with plastic.
One of his fans made him a superb trophy, a replica of the Ballon d'Or, but in Lego.
A handsome player, the attacker posed with the reward alongside the one to whom we owe “the work”.
"Thank you @quebahombre for this magnificent trophy that you have made for me," joked the international, on course to be, once again, one of the big favorites of the Ballon d'Or 2021. With 13 goals scored in 11 matches since the start of the season, the six-time winner of the Bundesliga has left at the same infernal pace as last season.
