Barcelona Star Joins Ronaldo in Attacking World's Biggest Award
"Ballon d'Or Is Commercial" - Lewandowski Drops Bombshell on Football's Top Prize
Barcelona's Polish striker Robert Lewandowski's strongly criticized the Ballon d'or selection process echoing recent remarks made by Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo.
In interview with BBC Lewandowski stressed that Barcelona currently has several players capable of competing for the award this year. He said the squad's overall performances prove that "there're strong contenders from Barcelona who deserve recognition"
The Polish star went further questioning the credibility of the Ballon d'or compared to FIFA's "The Best" award. He remarked:
Lewandowski also reflected on his missed chance in 2020 when France Football canceled the Ballon d'or due to the pandemic despite him leading Bayern Munich to historic treble that turned into sextuple.
Smiling, he added
The striker's remarks intensify the ongoing debate about the value of football's biggest individual prize.
With Ronaldo & now Lewandowski publicly questioning its fairness pressure continues to mount on organizers to reform the selection system.
