But when you go by titles and statistics, I think you have to evaluate it differently,” said Boateng on the from France Football awarded Ballon d’Or.

The 2014 world champion would have given his former Bayern teammate Lewandowski the award. “It’s a shame for Lewy because he definitely deserved it.
