Lionel Messi has been putting up unprecedented numbers for years now. His goals haven’t dried up in 2021 and he single-handedly carried an out-of-form FC Barcelona team to third place in La Liga last season. However, will this ensure Lionel Messi’s seventh Ballon d’Or win?
FC Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski has also been in the form of his life during the past two seasons, and the Polish striker has broken all records in the Bundesliga. He has helped Bayern win several matches and has already scored eight goals in five UEFA Champions League matches this season.
Lewandowski and Lionel Messi are the clear favorites for the Ballon D’Or this season, and according to one Manchester United legend, the results are already out.
