The Golden Ball was first awarded in 1956 and this year there will be no laureate for the first time. “Due to corona, the contenders’ season looked completely different. We actually could not compare the performances,” says France Football.
“We can not judge on the basis of January and February only. The games that are played now will continue in other circumstances.”
“It is a pity that for the first time there will be a hole in the honors list, but rather that than a year with an asterisk for eternity.”
Lionel Messi won the award in 2019 for the 6th time. Cristiano Ronaldo has five on the chimney for the time being.
