Robert Lewandowski reacts to Lionel Messi's 7th Ballon d'Or win

 Robert Lewandowski has congratulated

 Lionel Messi on winning his seventh Ballon

 d'Or award. The Bayern Munich star also 

tipped his hat to Alexia Putellas, the winner 

of the women's Ballon d'Or award, as well 

as all other nominated players.




France Football named Lionel Messi as 


the winner of this year's Ballon d'Or award. 


The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar 


finished with 613 points, while runner-up Robert


 Lewandowski amassed 580.



Despite the disappointing loss, 


Lewandoski  took to social media to 


congratulate Lionel Messi on winning his 


seventh Ballon d'Or award. Lewandowski also


 expressed his gratitude towards Bayern 


Munich and the fans for their support. He said:



"Congratulations Leo Messi and 

Alexia Putellas, winners of the Ballon 

d'Or 2021; congratulations also to all 

nominated players! I won the 'Striker

 of the Year' Award, and no player 

can win an individual award without

 the strongest team and loyal fans 

behind him. Thank you for your 

support", Lewandowski wrote on 

Twitter.


Chelsea midfielder Jorginho was a strong 


contender for the 2021 Ballon d'Or award. 


But there was a consensus that Lionel Messi 


and Robert Lewandowski were the favourites 


for this year's award. That indeed proved to 


be the case, with the Pole finishing just 33 


points behind the winner.



Lewandowski can consider himself unlucky 


to have not won the Ballon d'Or award this


 time around. Many fans hoped to see him 


bag the accolade, considering his performances 


over the last year and this one.



The Bayern Munich star, though, had to 


settle with the inaugural 'Striker of the Year' 


award. Lewandowski broke Gerd Muller's long


-standing Bundesliga goalscoring record 


(40 goals) last season, finding the back of the


 net 41 times in 29 matches.



It remains to be seen how Lewandowski 


reacts to missing out on the Ballon d'Or 


award on the pitch.



Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski

 to battle it out for the Ballon d'Or again?


Lionel Messi has got the better of Robert 


Lewandowski in the race for the Ballon 


d'Or award this time round. Could the two 


battle it out for the prestigious award once 


again next year?



Many would agree that the battle would 


have been between Messi and Lewandowski 


had France Football held the Ballon d'Or 


ceremony last year. Regardless of the individual


 awards, the two players have been 


competing against each other to stake their


 claim to the title of the best player in the world.



If things go according to plan for Messi 


and Lewandowski, we could see them on 


the Ballon d"Or podium once again next year.

Revealed: Ragnick reveals why Ronaldo will be a big doubt for his first game as a manager of Manchester United.

  Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly a major  doubt for Manchester United's match against  Crystal Palace on Sunday due to  a knee injury.   The 36-year-old Portuguese scored twice  on Thursday evening - including the winner  from the penalty spot - as United beat   Arsenal 3-2 at Old Trafford in Michael  Carrick's final game in charge  as caretaker boss. But The Sun claim Ronaldo may have  injured his knee doing his trademark 'siu'  celebration after smashing the penalty  high into the net past Aaron Ramsdale  with twenty minutes remaining. The Portugal international demonstrated  no immediate ill-effects, running the  length of the pitch in 12 seconds to support  a late counter attack in the 87th minute. However, he was substituted for Anthony  Martial with two minutes of the 90  remaining, and was seen walking awkwardly  off the pitch. If he is ruled out, it will come as a big  blow ...
