Robert Lewandowski, award winner The Best of FIFA last January, he threw a dart at Leo Messi, who in November beat the Pole, winning his seventh Golden Ball of the magazine French Football.
In that event, the Argentine assured that he had been “an honor” to compete against Lewandowski for that distinction, even assuring that the Bayern Munich striker deserved a Ballon d’Or, inviting the French media to give it to him. “Last year everyone agreed that you were the winner. I believe that French Football I can give it to you and have it in your house, because you were the fair winner. You have to have it in your house”, added the Argentine.
Faced with these assertions, the Poland striker hoped that they were “sincere and not just words”.

However, Lewandowski returned to refer to the subject and launched a controversial message. “He asked for a Ballon d’Or for me, but he didn’t vote me for The Best”, said the harpooner in statements to the Polish magazine Pilka Nozna collected by the Spanish media Sports world. In addition, he gave greater relevance to the award he won, since to choose the winner of the Ballon d’Or “only journalists vote and there is no clear verification.” While for The Best “soccer professionals and the press vote”.
“The captains and coaches of each national team can evaluate our performances more realistically and objectively,” he added. (D)
