Robbed? I'm not sure about this because statistically, Measi had a better season than Lewandosky last season, and Lewa had a better 2020 and deserved the award, but the event was canceled due to Covid19 measures, and no one can blame them. Messi deserved the award for 2021, but the biggest snub was the goalkeeper award, Mendy was robbed.
I am even starting to lose faith in FIFA altogether because it is now being controlled by some money-seeking politicians and people in power. Just look at where the last World Cup was hosted and where the World Cup is going to take place this time and I think you will understand.
Everything now revolves around money, therefore it's no surprise that FIFA is focusing on just accepting countries with vast financial resources willing to invest in the organization. Gone are the days when world up hosting choices were made solely on the basis of merit.
I have keenly looked into the Balloon d'or in recent years and it is highly politicised. Every year new standards keep coming in order to incorporate their favourite. I remember the year Messi underperformed, that was the prime year of Harzard in Chelsea. 1st eleven standard was changed to incorporate him.
Yes, he was in fine form, but as a Chelsea fan, I must tell you that dribbling alone will not get you a shot at the Ballon d'Or; you must also score a lot of goals, which is something Hazard lacks, less than 20 goals in the Champions League in his whole Chelsea career. I recall Fabrigas telling Hazard that if he wanted to win the Balon d'Or, he needed to improve his goal scoring rate. To have a chance, you'll need both goals and individual performance.
Talking about Lewa impact in Polish team, can Messi qualify from any group stage if given the crop of players in the Polish team?
With the current average Barcelona squad, Messi won laliga top scorer, most assists, and Lali ga MVP last season. Messi will make the current Polish team look like prime France, which is why he is the best.
