Robert Lewandowski has reacted to his snub by the Ballon d’Or award scheme as he lost again to Lionel Messi.
Lewandowski was denied the Ballon d’Or by Argentina’s Lionel Messi, who led his country to its first international title in 28 years by clenching the Copa America trophy.
In his acceptance speech for the 2021 Ballon d’Or, PSG playmaker Lionel Messi acknowledged that Robert Lewandowski “deserved to bag the Ballon d’Or 2020.”
Some football fans throughout the world, meanwhile, have criticized the decision to award Messi the Ballon d’Or this year, claiming that it was “completely undeserved.” They believe Lewandowski is more deserving of the award than Messi.
In response to his defeat to Messi for the 2021 Ballon D’Or, Lewandowski tweeted to his verified Twitter account on Tuesday to applaud Messi and all nominated players, saying that no player can win an individual award without the support of his greatest team and most devoted followers.
Lewandowski tweeted:
“Congratulations Leo Messi and @alexiaputellas winners of the #BallonDor2021, congratulations also to all nominated players! I won Striker of the Year Award and no Player can win an individual award without strongest team and loyal fans behind him. Thank you for your support.”
In another post on Instagram, late Monday night, Lewandowski wrote;
“To start, I would like to congratulate Lionel Messi, Ballon d’Or Winner,”
“I want to thank every single journalist who voted for me, and believed that my achievements were important in 2021.
