PSG and Argentina striker Lionel Messi unjustly received the Ballon d’Or in 2021. So the results of the presentation of the award in an interview with the correspondent of “Lenta.ru” were assessed by the former football player of the Russian national team Dmitry Bulykin.
“Robert Lewandowski deserves a victory more. The last two seasons he has shown a very decent game, scores a lot and won several trophies. It seems to me that this time it was worth breaking Messi’s hegemony. Moreover, many journalists voted for the Pole, but here some other factor played, ”Bulykin said. The Russian also added that the Argentinean has a lot of Golden Balls.
The footballer also speculated about how the defeat in the dispute for the award could affect the psychological state of Lewandowski. “Of course he has disappointment. How he will cope with this – we’ll see in the next matches. Partners in “Bavaria” should help, and he himself is not such a young footballer to worry too much, ”Bulykin emphasized.
The Ballon d’Or award ceremony for the best footballer of the year was held on November 29 in Paris. In the trophy dispute, Messi beat Bayern striker Lewandowski, who came in second in the vote.
