Congratulations to Lionel Messi for winning the  Ballon d'or. Messi has as many Ballon d'or  as there are days in the week. He really deserves it. I feel bad for Lewandowski,  he worked really hard but it's Messi once again picking up his 7th ballondor title. Though he is wearing a terrible suit to the event.

Messi deserved the award, congratulations. He had a great year, won Copa America with Argentina. Lewa also congratulated him, big sportsmanship.
Robert Lewandowski won striker of the year, so that's fair enough. I wish they gave 2020 award to him as well instead of cancel it.

Yes, It was duly deserved award for Lionel Messi, it's too bad that some aren't seeing beyond the shitty season Barcelona had last year, despite that he was individually brilliant for the club still and he's Copa America heroics to crown it all couldn't have been underestimated, Lewandowksi would have been a deserving contestant but no so deserving than Messi in my candid opinion, 202o would have been a undisputed year for him, If the event held.

I guess its not really a surprise this year huh, I was kinda expecting different name that will pop out this year but nope. It seems that as long as Messi and Ronaldo still play football, either one of them might outshine the other candidate almost every year huh. Anyway this is the first time since 2011 that Ronaldo didnt make it to top three.

I kinda predicted that Lewandowski might make it to top three alongside Messi and Ronaldo but it seems Ronaldo didnt make it

[Rabi3]

next info leaked...

spanish journalist Sergio Gonzalez reported in the program "Mas Que Pelotas" that not Robert Lewandowski but Lionel Messi will win this year's Golden Ball, for the best footballer in the world in 2021...

a lot of people said that it was leaked and Leva will win it and others said Messi, Messi to win the Ballon d'or was @3 at some point, which really high, and I regret not betting on him after he won Copa America with his national team, it feels bad for Lewandowski of course but Messi deserved it for sure.

[borovichok]

Have not seen a perfect striker like lewandowski he is so complete, he had a great season but for me I think Lionel Messi deserve it more, he is truly a GOAT of our time, what he did for Argentina with that kind of performance you surely knows that he is getting another ballon d' or, would have loved lewandowski to have won this award but there is Messi and there is nothing one can do about it.

Didn't pay attention to this topic but it is kinda late tho..
Honestly I don't see why Messi got this award while performing lately like 50% (or less) of what he used to do in the previous years... Keeping the reward between 2 names is unfair for the others that work hard and make their teams better. Personally I find players from Lewandowski to Benzema performing better than Messi... Anyway, congratulations to him and good luck for the others once Messi retire.

Ballon d'or 2021 left me mixed feelings. I'm not saying that Messi didn't deserved to win it, I just feel sad for Lewandowski.
Messi scored a lot for Barca, but haven't won anything significant except Copa Del Rey. But win in Copa America was decisive factor.
Golden Ball wasn't given last year and Lewandowski was robbed in such way. This year he had amazing performance in Bundesliga, but fact that Bayern haven't won Champions league didn't helped him. He also scored 3 goals in EURO 2020, but it wasn't successful tournament for his team.
After all, Ballon d'or isn't just about personal performance, it's also popularity contest.

@LTU_btc I don’t feel they’ll ever give it to Lewandowski, because no matter what he does it’ll never be enough for him to win it, but Messi feels that Lewandowski deserves to win it so hopefully next season he may finally gets his hand on it.

Also Ronaldo has hit back at Pascal Ferré and he has claimed that he’s okay even if he didn’t win it, but for some weird reason I feel that he’s hurting from the inside anyone else feels the same?.

With any luck this will be the start of that stupid award losing the prestige it once had. 
It is no longer about achievement on the field but image off it, the fact Lewandowski did not win it is shambolic enough, but honestly Messi has not been anywhere near the conversation for best player over the last 12 months. This win once again shows the award is actually a popularity contest, with sporting achievement only being secondary. He has got it based on Career achievements, accolades and performances, he hasnt even been the best player in France this year. The credibility of this awarding has not been on merits since 2019. It's now on personal affiliation, favoritism and personal preference.

Even Messi admits Robert Lewandowski deserves better. Rankings for Ballon D'or's Top 10 Players with their points have been released. Messi and Lewandowski both earned 613 and 580 points, respectively. Lewandowski lost by only 34 points. I'm not interested in discussing whether the awards show is corrupt or not. However, I feel sorry for Lewandowski. We should judge players by their real performances, not by winning a pointless trophy like the Copa America or any other unnecessary leagues that aren't worth watching.

Robert Lewandowski should keep playing good, his time will come, also Jorginho. To say the truth, they are both good player. I have posted on this thread to choose Lewandowski before because I wish him to win it and he truly deserves it. But I can not hide the fact that I am Messi's fan but I was surprised he won 2021 ballon d'or, all I was expecting was Lewandowski first and Messi second. But it was still a good news for me though.

It kinda feels like Lewandowski can do what he wants and he still won't get the ballon d'or, i feel really sad for him. It somehow seems that the two biggest names of football (Messi and Ronaldo) always have an advantage over the other players. The election is done by journalists from all over the world and i would guess that journalists from small african or asian countries would always tend to give their vote for Ronaldo or Messi because they are just more popular in their countries and players like Lewandowski are probably still pretty unknown there. Even Messi himself said that he thinks that Lewandowski would have deserved it. Fairplay of him.

[coinlocket$]

As predicted by me Messi is the winner.

I don't know if it is deserved this is controversial he is indeed the player with more quality in the world but other players got probably a better year.

If the purpose is to award the best player overall there is no doubt but if the purpose is to award the year of the player then we can have a lot of doubts.

Is it only a marketing award nowadays?

once again congrats to messi who has won 7t times, the balloon de'or, maybe this is the last time messi gets the ballon de'or, actually i am very disappointed, because messi's performance this year is inconsistent, but he managed to get the award, actually i really hope mohammad got the Ballon de'or wrong, but what can I do?

Majority of soccer fans across the world opinions is that
Lewandowski deserve the award, how come 180 Journalist elected Messi, on what criteria? is this decision not a biased?  is it because of being the best player in COPA America? I don't understand how he deserve this award, his form had dipped from last season till now and still struggling to find his feet with PSG in french league 1, while Lewandowski had been performing excellently for Bayern Munich for two seasons though Poland his home country had not done well in European tournament meanwhile Poland qualify for a play off in world cup qualifying match

Lionel Messi is indeed the best player in the world right now, but to be honest I personally think that this year Lionel Messi doesn't deserve the Ballon d'Or because his performances at PSG have not shown his prowess as the best player in the world at the moment, I think actually Lewandowski is a player who is more deserving of the Ballon d'Or, because so far he has played quite consistently in the league and has also been able to lift the performance of Bayern Munich to a fairly high level.

The award should be for Lewandowski because he is the only consistent player this year. Also from the achievements he got as the best FIFA player.
I admit that Messi's performance has not been good since joining PSG. Despite the time at Barcelona did not manage to win LaLiga, the individual and team achievements in the International League were quite good, such as winning the Copa America.

If it was a fair play, then he should hand it over to him!
To be honest, this was probably the last "Ballon D' Or" that Messi will get but still it's pretty "unfair" for Lewandowski. In any case, the best part for me from the awarding ceremony, was the reaction of Mbappe when he listen to his position... 😂😂😂
