France Football are scheduled to name the winner of this year’s Ballon d’Or on Monday. Pundits, former players and fans have been debating who deserves to bag the award this time around ahead of next week’s gala.
Real Madrid talisman Karim Benzema and Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah have been named as potential contenders for this year’s Ballon d’Or. However, there appears to be a consensus that Lewandowski, PSG superstar Lionel Messi and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho are the top three candidates to win the award.
Former Manchester United star Berbatov feels Bayern Munich frontman Lewandowski deserves to win the Ballon d’Or this time around. The Bulgarian hailed the 33-year-old as a goal machine and insisted that he would be disappointed if he does not bag the award. He said:
Could Lewandowski win his first Ballon d’Or award on Monday? Or will Messi bag his seventh?
Robert Lewandowski is a strong candidate for this year’s Ballon d’Or
Many believe Robert Lewandowski deserved to win the Ballon d’Or last year. However, France Football chose not to hand out the award on the back of the pandemic and the lockdown.
Lewandowski, though, remains a strong candidate to bag the award this time around. The Poland international scored 48 goals and provided nine assists from 40 appearances across all competitions for Bayern Munich last season.
The centre-forward has already found the back of the net 25 times for the Bavarians this term, while also providing two assists. He also scored three goals for Poland in the European Championship in the summer.
