Lionel Messi’s proposal to award the Ballon d’Or to Robert Lewandowski has prompted a response from the Ballon d’Or organizers

Will Lionel Messi’s confession result in Robert Lewandowski receiving the 2020 Ballon d’Or trophy retroactively? Messi greeted Bayern Munich and Poland star Lewandowski straight on stage after defeating him to first place at Monday’s event.

“Robert, you deserve your Ballon d’Or,” the legendary Argentine forward, who claimed the prestigious individual accolade for a record-breaking seventh time, was quoted saying by The Mirror. “Last year, everyone agreed to say that you were the big winner of this award.

“Hopefully France Football will give you the 2020 Ballon d’Or. We all believe you deserved it and I hope you can have it at home.”

Support for Lewandowski

Lewandowski has 25 goals in 20 appearances for Bayern this season after scoring 48 goals in 40 games last season. Many people have spoken out in support of Lewandowski, who garnered 33 fewer votes for the Ballon d’Or in 2021 than Messi.

The Ballon d’Or event was cancelled last year because of the epidemic, but Messi and many others believe Lewandowski will be proclaimed Ballon d’Or winner in 2020.

Response from the Organizers

The organizers of the Ballon d’Or have finally responded to Messi’s suggestion. They’ve indicated that they’re “considering” awarding the prize to Lewandowski in 2020. “What Messi said was nice and clever”, France Football editor-in-chief Pascal Ferré told Bulinews, according to The Mirror.

“I think we do not have to make very quick decisions.

“We can think about it and at the same time, we should respect the history of the Ballon d’Or, which is based on voting.

“We can’t be sure if Lewandowski would have won the Ballon d’Or last year.

“We can’t know because there was no vote.

“But, to be honest, Lewandowski would have had a great chance of winning last year.”

Indeed, if there is a retrospective poll, Lewandowski is extremely certain to win the Ballon d’Or in 2020. Lewandowski not only scored a lot of goals, but he also helped Bayern win the Bundesliga, German Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Champions League.
