Champion, MVP and top scorer in the Bundesliga. Champion, scorer and MVP of the final at DFB Pokal. And he is the current UEFA Champions League scoring leader. Robert Lewandowski is signing a season to think about the Ballon d’Or. The point is that France Football, in an unprecedented decision, he announced its cancellation.
Inside Bayern Munich they are aware that their scorer started as a favorite for any individual award. For this reason, in the face of this scenario, the top managers of the Bavarian entity are considering going to FIFA to restore the award. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge did not guarantee it; however, he shared that he is considering meeting with Gianni Infantino, FIFA president.
THE POSITION OF THE BAYERN REGARDING THE GOLDEN BALL
“First of all, I think Robert Lewandowski is playing a fantastic season. He scored 34 goals in the Bundesliga, scored many goals in the Champions League and in the German Cup. Perhaps it is the best season of his entire career. Unfortunately, France Football canceled the Ballon d’Or, which does not make us happy and I think that in the end it is not very fair. Not only because of Robert Lewandowski. We may have to speak to FIFA. In a season where all the Leagues, except the French League, were played until the end, it must be possible for the Ballon d’Or to be awarded to the best soccer player in the world. Of course, under the circumstances, I think Robert would have had a good chance to win it for the first time in his career. But let’s see, maybe I will talk to Mr. Infantino (President of FIFA) to convince him and that perhaps he can convince France Football to go ahead. Or maybe FIFA can organize the Ballon d’Or (or Best Player of the Year award). ”
Let’s see how this ends.
Over there Rummenigge could achieve something with the gala of the Best award, but the Ballon d’Or, via FIFA, looks very complicated. Remember that since 2016 the unification between France Football and the highest body in the world of soccer.
Undefeated Data. Robert Lewandowski has been a five-time scoring champion in the Bundesliga: 1 with Borussia Dortmund and 4 with Bayern Munich.
Did you know…? Robert Lewandowski has never been in the TOP3 of the Ballon d’Or. His best place was a fourth place in 2015.
