The 65th Ceremony of the France Football Ballon D’or Award 2021 has stirred a lot of action among the media, players and pundits after the Argentine superstar was awarded his Seventh honour.
Many former players and current footballers like Iker Casillas, Patrice Evra, Thomas Muller, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and many more believed that the Polish Striker Robert Lewandowski was the rightful owner of the award especially after his electric performance in the last two campaigns.
Robert Lewandowski finally speaks about his feeling after a dreadful second place in the 2021 Ballon D’or ceremony
Robert Lewandowski has finally spoken his heart out after the disappointing decision of France football to choose Messi as the winner and award him the new trophy of Striker of the year.
The Polish Striker, Robert Lewandowski said, “I felt sad, I have nothing to hide. I can’t say I’m satisfied because it’s quite the opposite. I feel unsatisfied… Being so close, competing with Lionel Messi.”
“Of course I respect how he plays and everything he has achieved. The fact that I could compete with him shows me the level I’ve been able to play at. But I felt sad and it was good that we didn’t have a midweek game after the gala.”
Robert Lewandowski had staggering stats to back his winning odds especially the 5 titles for Bayern in the 2019/20 season and then breaking Gerd Muller‘s 49-year-old record by scoring 41 goals in 29 games in the Bundesliga.
Lionel Messi also thought that the Polish should be awarded the Ballon D’or especially for his 2020 season but Lewandowski took a direct shot at him telling that, “I would like his statement to be honest, not just empty words.”
