The FC Barcelona star striker spoke about the race for the Ballon d’Or and expressed his regrets at not having won.
The season will soon come to an end and the race for the Ballon d’Or is already fueling debate everywhere. According to the latest projections, Jude Bellingham is today one of the three favorites with Kylian Mbappé (PSG) and Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), without forgetting Vinicius Junior who has put together great performances since his physical problems are behind him.
The common denominator of its 4 players is the possibility of winning the Champions League this season although it should be noted that Madrid and Paris have already won titles at the national level, which is not the case for Harry Kane. who saw his Bayern dethroned by Bayer Leverkusen. Florian Wirtz could also enter the discussion in the event of success in the Europa League and with Germany… because yes, we are in a year of Euro and Copa América. That will also weigh in the balance.

As for Robert Lewandowski, he will not enter into the discussion given the course of his team but certainly he would have deserved to win it, whether in 2020 or 2021. During an interview with Sport Bild, he came back to it.
“Not long ago, a friend sent me statistics: I had scored 100 goals in 85 matches,” he recalled with a little bitterness since in 2020, France Football had decided not to award the Ballon d’Or (for no really justified reason) then Messi beat him the following year.
“This year 2020 had been extraordinary for me. I was at my best level, we won everything with Bayern Munich. If I received the Ballon d’Or today, 4 years later, I would not feel offended. It would be a great honor and I would accept the trophy,” he admitted. To the wise.
And for this season, who is the best player in the world according to him? “It’s difficult to say because we have the Euro this summer and a few more decisive matches with the Champions League. But at the moment, Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham are for me the players who stand out from the crowd” he said. -he concluded.
