40 million votes, and Messi won again.
Lew robbed again
It's not an award, just a silly poll in internet. I was just fishing, seems like this fish already diedNever heard of this award.
I thought Cristiano was more famous than Messi on Internet.
Can't even win online polls now.
Ah right, sorry went over me head.It's not an award, just a silly poll in internet. I was just fishing, seems like this fish already died
I think Cristiano's fanboys votes got divided between him, Benzema and Lewa
40 million votes, and Messi won again.
Lew robbed again
Ofcourse, see in my opinion as long as Messi is playing he is the best player in the world. He had a phenomenal 2021, if Lewa won I Wouldn't complaint, but Messi deserved 2021 as much as LewaMaybe lews wasnt robbed. He just lost.

There wasn't much between them. I had Messi slightly ahead by virtue of his performances at the Copa, and i wouldn't have complained had Lewandowski won.
Having said that, I hope Lewandowski wins the next Balón D'or. I think Messi has had his fill, with 7
Pretty unlikely considering there's a World Cup in 2022.
Forgot about that. I agree that the world cup will play the biggest role in the Balón D'or.
Yeah, it'll take him massive stats in the CL + at least a CL final + a team with no star winning the world cup (like italy or spain) in order for him to win it. Otherwise, it'll go to someone else.
I don't think that what you're suggesting is farfetched. He's still the best striker on the planet by a country mile and assuming Bayern dont go out early, he'll have a good chance at ending top scorer (and the world cup could easily go to one of the two countries you've mentioned).
It remains to be seen.
Doesn’t the voting stop before the WC?Pretty unlikely considering there's a World Cup in 2022.

Messi and CR7's fan base are huge and built up overtime(More than 10 years). It's hard for any player (Eg Haaland, Lewandowski) to outscore them in a vote based on popularity. It has to be strictly based on performance for the year.Maybe lews wasnt robbed. He just lost.

Lewandowski's last 12 years performance cannot match Messi's last 12 years but his last 2 years is definitely comparable or some might think it's better than Messi or any players' last 2 years' performance.
World cup winner will get it because it's the world cup.So let's say Ronaldo somehow wins the European cup for a record 6th time ( tying gento's classical record) but crashes out of the world cup in the playoffs , and messi on the other hand manages to win the world cup with his country.

Even Luka Modric who did not win the world cup got it despite only scoring one from open play and missing a penalty (non-shootout)
Ronaldo cause he fecking deserves it if he can drag this shower of shit over the lineSo let's say Ronaldo somehow wins the European cup for a record 6th time ( tying gento's classical record) but crashes out of the world cup in the playoffs , and messi on the other hand manages to win the world cup with his country.

Isn't there a newer Lewandowski thread?
I think that is something that should be mentioned. If you see the frequency with which he posted ads for them and was in TV spots for them it must have been a financially very attractive contract...
Huawei confirmed. The contract was worth about 5 million EUR.
Great gesture. Wish more star players would take stances like this, especially the two super super stars of the last decade
Exactly when their is already an individual thread about Lewandowski.What a bump this is
Lewandowski hat-trick?! Ballon d'or to Messi!
Irrespective, as an individual, there was no better player than him. The award is for a calendar year, not a season.zero meaningful trophies for Lewa last season
If Modric won it that year then iniesta shoukd have won it in 2010 or sneijder. That midriff win was so baffling.modric was still amazing in the WC as well as being amazing in CL that year.
