Bayern Munich striker, Robert Lewandowski will be named the best player in the world and given a ball of salt by the Polish town of Wieliczka, Newspremises has learnt.

This is as a consolation for missing out on the 2021 prize to Lionel Messi.

Lewandowski finished in second place in this year’s Ballon d’Or voting.

A city councilor in Wieliczka, Kamil Jastrzebski, has called the final results of the poll “a great deal of injustice”.

“There has been a great deal of injustice, and Robert Lewandowski has become its victim.

“Therefore – as a member of Wieliczka – I propose that the city symbolically announce that Lewy is the best footballer in the world.

“There was also a proposal to expand my idea. Some people want to give the captain of our team a Salt Ball. In the past, salt was called ‘white gold’, so it also has a historical and geographical basis. I think that despite inflation and the general crisis, Wieliczka will be able to get enough salt,” Jastrzebski wrote on Twitter.

France Football, the organizers of the Ballon d’Or, have said they will think of awarding Lewandowski the 2020 prize.

When u see truth talk am. No dey support bad thing

Lewandowski 2021 performance was better than his 2020.

If he deserved 2020 ballon d'or then he deserved 2021 more. Every staunch Messi supporter i know agrees with that except una for nairaland

Mr Eibar was also kicked out of the UCL by PSG, No?

Lewandowski has been the best player in the last 2 years.

yeah, I hope d organizers reward him for his insane 2020 numbers n it will be well justified just as leo said but i know dt messi haters will not still be happy bcoz their problem is more about messi winning than lewa losing dt award..
meaning assuming na benzema or Jorginho win am ahead of Lewa, noise n wailing for no last this long..
him winning the polish best is normal n i think dt city councillor should focus more about Poland in playoffs trying to qualify for d world cup than blasting d ballon d or bcoz they is no need crying over spilled milk, dt wan don go, Mk dm face front d...

This is the reasoning you have when you are a chronic Penaldian.
A season he wan the Treble is not better than the season he was kicked out at the Quarter -Finals of UCL and did nothing internationally.
It's really hard being one of the Penalty Family. Las las, una go dey alright

AlhajiBitcoin:
2020 and 2021 belonged to Lewandowski.

No competition...

So the accusation of cheating maybe true being that the Balon Dior is a french organized award. So PSG took it.

After losing or after robbing him?

Any sound mind knows too well that this guy was robbed of his Glory.
