Lewondowski deserved the award for the year 2020 because nobody came close while Bayern was rough handling everybody on the way to winning the treble. He would’ve won this year’s own if the Copa America was not played this year . That was what actually gave Messi the edge, nobody was going to overlook a player who dragged both his team at the national and club levels to at least a cup each . The fact that he won individual awards doing so even makes things easier for him.

If Lewandowski Is from a footballing nation like Spain and they did well at the Euros , maybe his chances of winning 2021 D’or would’ve been higher . Unfortunately for him he’s in them Messi’s age bracket and will most likely be in their shadows till they all retire from football.

Fair points.

You be comedian, i swear!
Which club legend?
Okomaiko fc where Jude ( Havertz10) dey play monkey post or where?

Las las, Jorgo will go down as a legend sha...

I can just imagine, 12 years from now...


Paper Headline:

"I always knew he would win it one day" - Jorginho

Chelsea legend Jorginho has said he always believed Blues star Jude Soonsup-Bell would go on to win the Ballon D'or someday, as the Chelsea striker was crowned the best player in the world on Monday at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.

Soonsup-Bell beat out competition from Jamal Musiala and Pedri to win the award and Jorginho, a Chelsea legend and former Ballon D'or nominee himself - he finished third in 2021 behind Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski - has told reporters of how he always believed...

Pendu

Got nothing against Ronaldo, but that name gets me every time

How did the name even come about sef...Penaldo I understand, but Pendu...

wman:
Anytime Messi wins?

That's a gross exaggeration.

Before today, the only time there was complaints was 2010 cos of Sneider.

There were some complaints when he won it ahead of VVD in 2019.

wman:
Lewandowski robbed.

Mendy robbed.

Why was Sterling ranked higher than Kane?

Kane's case isn't talked about enough. Top scorer and most assists in the same season in the PL, second highest top scorer at the Euros.

How's that not good enough for a top 20 finish?

BlueRayDick:
Person play 56 matches and was awarded man of the match in 28 of those matches , una still dey talk day he no deserve Ballon D’or

Talk true , if u dey among accredited voters (Raumdeuter don already say Na polling booth dem dey decide who win ), shey u no go vote Messi ?

Lewandowski's outrageous goal stats from the last two years is what endears many towards him.

Look deeper that that, then the argument begins to favour Messi.

It is, after all, for the best player, not just the best goalscorer.

MESSI!!!

Expert17

Come outside

Pepsi don use style announce Messi win

That means Kante and Jorgo will both finish in top 5

Nice one

BlueRayDick:
Donnarumma was named Euro 2020 player of the tournament. I guess that worked in his favor

Guess so too.

Should've seen it coming, after all Donnarumma made the shortlist for the Ballon D'or award itself - even finishing as high as tenth.

Mendy robbed FFS

Expert17:
Sorry bro

Why you dey tell am sorry?

Kerr finished third, just behind Hermoso and Putellas.

Why the hell is Kirby 10th?

Mama marina looking fine as hell

Men dem looking fly as hell

Looking sharp! 👌#BallonDor pic.twitter.com/v8YzxYXG3S

ShadowWalker00:

Your real guy

Two new awards...striker of the year and Club of the year

Lewy will defo win striker of the year, dem fit use that one compensate am.

As for club of the year...thinking what I'm thinking?

donstan18:
Pedri is blessed.

Man is unique and talented.

He just won an award now... Kopa Trophy for under U21.

Never in doubt. He had a stellar year.

Just that he was severely overworked sha, and is now feeling the aftereffects.

Ballon D'or rankings for our players.

Azpi - 29th (joint, with Modric)

Mount - 19th

Lukaku - 12th

Kante - ?

Jorginho - ?

Capaldi:
Let's look at our attackers stats.

CHO - 4 PL goals in 5 seasons

Havertz - 5 Prem goals in the last 12 months

Ziyech - 1 pl goal in 12 months

Mount - 2 PL goals vs teams not in the bottom 2 in 18 months. Take out the norwich game, he has 0 goals 1 assist so far in all comps.

Pulisic - 6 PL goals in 18 months

Werner - 3 PL goals in the last 12 months.

We are Doomed.

I no know say e bad reach like this o

Oasis007:


Two years ‘consultancy’ role confirmed. He’ll have an influence on new manager decision & contracts expiring in the summer.

If I were a Man U fan, I guess this would be the part that excites me the most.

Nezzjnr:
How??

Which one be how na? If you had been more open - kinda like against L'pool - then we would've had more room in the final third.

Kudos to Carrick. Considering your current form, this was the best possible approach to take.

Nezzjnr:
You people said you were going to destroy us but una be dey find equalising goal later

Na so life be na Think it's easy to destroy the Yacht that you parked in front of goal?

Elnino4ladies:
What kind of set-up was that allowing only Jorginho down home, when man utd was playing counter attack?

Jorgo should've done better sha. The risk isn't worth taking sometimes.

Just boot the ball clear.

Nezzjnr:
Please rest... We are a poorly managed team and everyone can see that.

On our best day... Una no go even see draw sef.

We nko? We no get best day?

Lana1:
Postdigger while you're at it, dig out the posts of useless rentboys that were saying rubbish on our thread after they beat Juve 4-0

Oga Postdigger, after this, dig out the post of the scummies that swore that by December, it would be clear that we aren't title contenders.

donstan18:
Our next matches for the year.

Watford

Westham

Leeds

Everton

Wolves

Brentford

Aston Villa

Brighton

Without injuries, we should win all

This year? This 2021 wey wan end so?

Ahh

Nezzjnr:
Anthony Taylor that they were all insulting awarded them a Cheap PK.

Imagine say na Better Coach dey manage us

There's no assurance that you would've beaten us with a better coach.

These scummies are actually high

Who we go give MOTM for this kind match sef

Silva for me sha. Rudiger also deserves a shout.

Out of all our attackers, Ziyech probably impressed me the most.
