some of you here are acting like it's Lingard that won the award, not Messi. also, it's 2021. Lewa is great, but like I've said earlier in thread, his goals in BL carry little weight because of what that league is. BL games are training matches for Bayern, their preparation for CL and to keep their players fit, nothing else. it is how it is.
which means, unless Lewa wins the CL with Bayern with him hitting crazy numbers (didn't happen), he basically has no chance against Messi. Bayern is too strong for BL for Lewa to win the award based on BL trophy only, and his NT is too weak for him to win anything on international stage.
Messi on the other hand played in actual competition before he moved to PSG and on top of that, Barca's current struggles actually add a bit to his case. I'm deliberately not even mentioning his Copa performance, as there is nothing left to be said on that matter.
he fully deserved this, no debate about that. I would have no problems with Lewa winning it as well.
That’s all great. Hope this logic will be used next year when assessing Messi’s case but I am sure goalposts will be changed because it’s Messi
