Lionel Messi in trouble this week after an unreasonable choice on The Best FIFA Awards to the end of the judgment from the German media.
FIFA held the Best 2021 award on Monday (18/1) early morning Indonesian time. In that event, Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski came out victorious after winning 48 votes.
Lewandowski beat Lionel Messi who collected 44 votes, followed by Mohamed Salah in third place with 39 votes.
After the election, controversy ensued. In that vote, Messi had the opportunity to vote because he was captain of the Argentine national team.
However, the choice of La Pulga, which consists of three players, has been questioned by many parties. The three players that Messi chose in succession were: Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Karim Benzema.
Messi’s choice was considered strange. When referring to the individual award for the previous best player, the 2021 Ballon d’Or, only Benzema came close to Messi’s choice.

The Real Madrid striker is fourth in the 2021 Ballon d’Or, while Mbappe is in ninth place and Neymar is in 16th.
Unlike Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not win the prestigious individual title in 2021, chose more rationally. The Portugal national team captain put Lewandowski’s name in first position, N’Golo Kante, then Jorginho.
The comparison between Messi and Ronaldo has become a public spotlight. Until finally asked Lewandowski again.
In his recent comments, Lewandowski looked surprised by Messi’s choice and asked the PSG star to question the decision.
Messi’s problems do not stop there. German media Bild, joined the sharp criticism of the former Barcelona captain.
Messi was attacked, because in the previous best player award, the 2021 Ballon d’Or, La Pulga who won said Lewandwoski was more entitled to the Golden Ball.
In fact, in the FIFA The Best award, Messi did not choose Lewandowski.
