By the word robbery it simply means that a certain player had worked very hard and won the hearts of football fans who were disappointed to see someone else who has performed less better win the award.

Here are the three biggest robberies, according that u can remembe[/b]r

[b]The first one was Robert Lewandowski in 2020:


Most football lovers and pundits agree that the Polish striker was robbed in 2020 after the award ceremony was cancelled the very year he should have won it.
And instead of giving it to him the next year, it was rather given to Lionel Messi. A Lewandowski victory could have been uncontested like the Benzema triumph last year.

Goal reported that the organisers cited the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse, but every sane football fan knows it was Lewandowski’s award for the taking.

Another one was Wesley Sneijder.

The Dutchman was snubbed in 2010 even when most football lovers had tipped him to claim the individual gong. His Ballon d’Or snub sparked a lot of controversies, as the playmaker was involved in every trophy his side won

So To All my great Nairalanders football lovers, kindly share your view

Okay. I love this logic. Let's work with it. Guess who won the Ballon d’Or that year ?

Pristiano Penaldo

This is the biggest award robbery in football's history.

SNEIJDER 2010
Seria A: 4goals and 8assists
UCL: 3goals and 6assist
World Cup: 5goals and 1assist

Seria A winner
UCL winner
Copa Italia winner

MESSI 2010
European Golden Boot
UCL Top Scorer
Club World Cup top scorer
La liga Player of the Year

La liga winner
Copa Del Rey winner
UEFA Super Cup winner
Club World Cup winner
Spanish Super Cup winner

If Sneijder was exceptional and also behind the success of Intermilan and Netherlands, how come he was never voted the best in atleast one of the competition he participated?

In 2010, Sneijder did not win UEFA Player of the Year. Milito did.

In 2010, Sneijder did not win Seria A Player of the Year. Milito did.

In 2010, Sneijder did not win Intermilan Player of the Year. Milito

In 2010, Sneijder did not win Golden Ball at the World Cup. Forlan did.

LEWANDOSKI 2021
European Golden Boot
Broke Muller’s record
Bundes liga winner

MESSI 2021
Copa America winner
Copa Del Rey winner

Copa America Player of the Tournament
Copa America Top scorer
Copa America Top Assist
La liga Top scorer
Top Assist in La liga

You don’t care about Sneijder nor Lewandoski. You are just a typical Ronaldo fanboy working so hard to discredit Messi.

If it’s about justice, why did you omit 2013 and even 2014?

2013 was the first time a player was crowned without leading his team to a single trophy.

By your logic, Ribery and Neuer should have won 2013 and 2014 respectively…. Guess what? both awards went to Ronaldo

This odembet abi na wetting be your moniker sef, your hatred for Messi is legendary. You think you are the only one on the internet?

First, this is not your write up, you copied it and past here and remove the Ribery part. Funny enough I read it this morning and they mentioned 2010, 2013 and 2020 case. You purposely removed 2013 because of your hatred for Messi. Here's the link to the real information https://sportsbrief.com/football/26019-robert-lewandowski-franck-ribery-wesley-sneijder-biggest-robberies-ballon-d-history/

Dead and alive top 3 in the history of the game, CR7 ain't among. I will even pick Delima and Dinho before your camel.

Hatred won't take you anywhere, always show gratitude in the presence of dominance. Messi is done with football, that's why he's going to MLS to play for a club that's last on the table.

One of Messi's Balloon do'or was actually Ronaldo's own as he performed better that year

Lewandoski was duped of a Balloon do'or award

Perez also stole one of Ronaldo's Balloon do'or award for Modric


I won't forget Andre Ashavin 2005-2006 epl season. I wonder why Ashavin had to score for Arsenal for a game Arsenal didn't need to win, Ashavin scored I think a brace or an hat trick making Liverpool loose the epl titleship that year


Barcelona pulled a fast one on PSG. It's not a feat to forget easily

Sneijder's was the most obvious robbery ever witnessed. Man won a treble with Inter and took his team to World Cup final.

It's down to the clarity of the rules. For every robbery we assume there is, you'd find a legitimate reason that is backed by precedence. Examples are the Ballon d'Or awards of 2010 and 2013. Even though Sneidjer and Ribery achieved way more with their respective teams, Messi and Ronaldo's individual efforts in those seasons dwarfed the efforts of those two.
