France Football have confirmed there will be no Ballon d'Or awarded in 2020 as "all the conditions are not met" to host the ceremony and the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the season. The award was first held in 1956 with Stanley Matthews being the first player to win the prestigious award.




France Football add that it would be impossible to deem a winner fairly, especially when some leagues have been cut short due to Covid-19.

Also, it’s added with changes to competitions like the Champions League, of which the remaining fixtures will be played in a single-match format and behind-closed-doors on neutral ground in Lisbon, makes it unrealistic to hand out the award given things have changed so much from the norm.

Here’s one particular quite from the announcement: “Protecting the credibility and legitimacy of such an award also means ensuring its flawlessness over time.”

Lionel Messi would have be a shoe-in to clinch the award for the 7th time in his career, the Barcelona superstar has been phenomenal this season with a staggering 30 goals and 26 assists.

Other high-profile superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Roberto Lewandowski would’ve firmly been in the running after sensational campaigns.

Bad luck for Lewandowski. He was exceptionally this year...
.
Messi remains the undisputed champion
.

So this is how they want to rob Lingard ?

Because of Messi and Ronaldo don't stand a chance ?

Messi would have been robbed..

The greatest player in premier league (Henry) best season was 24 goals and 20 assists and Messi surpassed that stats.

He has the most goals contribution this season including the most freekick scored.

Penaldo 40% goals are penalties
