Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski has clarified that Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi’s words towards him at the 2021 Ballon d’Or ceremony “really touched” him, Newspremises reports.

Newspremises recalls that, Messi acknowledged after winning this year’s Ballon d’ Or that Lewandowski deserved to win the 2020 Ballon d’ Or.

“I would like to mention Robert Lewandowski. It has been a real honour to compete with you,” Messi had said after collecting the 2021 Ballon d’Or trophy.

“Everyone knows and we agree that you were the winner last year.

“I think France Football should award you your 2020 Ballon d’Or.”

However, after an interview in which Lewandowski says he was misinterpreted as questioning Messi’s intentions, the Poland international is now saying that Messi’s words were not empty words aimed at him.

Lewandowski told Bild, “Messi’s words towards me [about the Ballon d’Or] really touched me.

“They were not empty words, it was a nice moment in my career.

“I only spoke a few words with Leo [one-on-one] because my Spanish is not that good. I spoke with Kylian [Mbappe] in English, he then translated for Leo. It was a great night.”

He added: “It’s about little details. Everything has to be in place.

“What I can guarantee is that I will continue doing my job and bring my best performances.”

What do you expect

It makes Messi looks good.

Na haram for front page

An award that has always been voted by Journalists is now rigged because Ronaldo fan boys are pained Messi won and not the fact that they wanted lewy to win out of the goodness of their hearts

It wasn't rigged when they were both levelled at 5-5
It's now that it's rigged

Like for Messi

Those Ronaldo turned Lewy fans that twisted his first comment about Messi's Balon D'or win should bury their heads in shame.

They carved out a different meaning to suit their narrative just to make it look like Lewandoski accused Messi of stealing his award.

Ok

Lewa we all know u ve been better than messi but dey rub u of ur joy

I love my Goat Ronaldo no doubt but I will really appreciate it if Ronaldo stop putting himself under pressure of trying to prove he's better than the other Goat in France, the more he does the more he's under attack, he should understand that his life right from childhood was based on struggles even up till now. From childhood he struggled with poverty, at adulthood he's struggling with how to define success, to me he's already successful I don't know how he is seeing it from his own angle, there are things you can't help, the Goat in France is the problem, he's designed by the universe to supersede and create more chaos that's why everything favours him. @Ronaldo behave like lewandowski by facing your football I believe you don't need to proof anything to anyone and stop putting yourself under pressure especially on things beyond your control....
