British The Guardian has published its version of the ranking of the best football players in 2021. It is available on the website of the publication.
Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski was named the best player of the year. Argentine striker “Paris Saint-Germain” Lionel Messi thus was left without leadership in the ranking, despite the Golden Ball award. He is located on the second line. Mohammed Salah of Liverpool rounds out the top three.
On December 18, Lewandowski set a unique record. The Pole brought the number of goals scored in the calendar year to 43. Thus, he beat the achievement of Gerd Müller, who in 1972 chalked up 42 goals scored.
On November 29, the Golden Ball award ceremony took place in Paris. In a dispute over the prestigious prize, Messi overtook Lewandowski. The Argentine has seven golden balls on his account. Commenting on his victory, Messi admitted that he considers Lewandowski worthy of the award.
