This is how Messi reacted to Lewandowski’s triumph. They took a close-up [WIDEO]

In the recent “Golden Ball” plebiscite organized by “France Football”, he turned out to be better. This time it was the other way around. And it was the Pole who triumphed, and the Argentine took second place. In the final he defeated Messi and Mohamed Salah. Thus, the Bayern Munich striker won this plebiscite for the second time in a row. But what is surprising, since in 2021 he won the German championship and the German Super Cup, and in 12 months he scored as many as 69 goals. In the meantime, he broke Gerd Mueller’s historic record for the number of goals scored in one Bundesliga season (41).

The Pole most likely received the information before the gala that he would win. This can be inferred from his official attire during the event. For comparison: Messi was in a plain white T-shirt, and he only appeared at the gala by connecting to an internet messenger.

Messi accepted the results with a slight smile. And this video shows the Argentine’s reaction in a special close-up:

Captains and selectors of national teams as well as journalists and Internet users took part in the vote. Lewandowski voted for Jorginho, and Messi was in second place, in third.

As it turns out, the Argentinian did not reciprocate this gesture. The PSG player, on the other hand, decided to take a very strange step that could undermine the seriousness of the plebiscite: he voted for his teammates. He placed Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the first two places. Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema came in third.

Lewandowski commented on the results of FIFA The Best

– Thank you very much. I am honored and proud. It is also an award for my coaches and the team – said Lewandowski. The Pole also referred to the broken records of Gerd Mueller. The legendary German was also awarded and mentioned during the gala. – I have never dreamed of breaking this record. All these records that I am breaking – thank him, because without him it would not be possible – said Lewandowski.
