The PSG superstar was the top scorer, top playmaker and the best player of the tournament alongside Neymar at Copa America. As for club level Messi won the Copa Del Rey with Barcelona. However it was not as straightforward as it has been for the past couple of years. Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski and Chelsea’s midfield maestro Jorginho had exceptional years with their respective club and country.

But it the end it was the Argentinean who came out on top. Lionel Messi was quick to mention Lewandowski as the clear winner of the 2020 Ballon D’or which was reportedly cancelled by France football because of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. He also requested France football to give the Polish goal machine the trophy he truly deserves.

However the former Barcelona forward winning the award did not sit well with some of the current and former players, more so after his long time rival Cristiano Ronaldo finishing outside of top 5 in 6th place in the Ballon D’or rankings for the first time since 2010. There will always be a debate between Messi and Ronaldo fan base and top pundits as to how one of them deserved it more than the other. Ronaldo’s former teammate Kroos reportedly said that ‘It is absolutely not deserved.’
