Leo Messi was the first 'crack' in practically say goodbye to the Balloon of Gold of this 2021 when it fell in eighth of final of Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentinian, that is doing a spectacular year, goes to have almost impossible to heave with the trophy. His options reduce to win League and Glass of Rey and that any another star stand out and achieve to win the League of Champions.

These same possibilities will have Robert Lewandowski, that was another of the firmest candidates to attain the award. The Pole remained without him the course happened after conquering the triplete with the Bayern of Munich by fault of the pandemia, since the prize cancelled . This season was his opportunity to win it at last, but the 'KO' of the Bavarians against the PSG does that his options reduce a lot of.

Without the '9' of the Bayern and the '10' of the Barça in the game, there are two names that project above the rest: Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappé. Both are shining in this Champions and are in semifinals, where will try to delete to the Manchester City. The Brazilian is not being decisive with goals, but yes is exhibiting regarding game. See him play is a delight and in the eliminatory in front of the Germans marked the difference with his football.

By his part, Mbappé yes is marking goals and sum 6 between eighth and chambers. It annotated a spectacular 'hat-trick' against the Barcelona in the gone of eighth, marked another in the turn and annotated two more in the gone of chambers in Germany. In total, sum 8 targets in this Champions and definitely is one of the favourites to win the Balloon of Gold. If the PSG arrives to the final, everything aims that the prize could be between him and his mate Neymar, although there is other two players that want to give the surprise.

Benzema And Of Bruyne could give the surprise

In the Real Madrid, Karim Benzema is doing a year sensacional in League and also carries 5 so many in Europe. If the whites arrive to the final and achieve to win the League of Champions, perhaps could be the year of the French, that is the maximum goleador and the offensive leader of the merengues. Right now it has fewer options that the Brazilian and that his compatriot Kylian, but if his team goes back to conquer Europe could win a lot of integers.

On the other hand, in the City a Kevin of Bruyne also oposita to this Balloon of Gold. The mediapunta is not a goleador and regarding figures is underneath of the rest of names of the list, but is the leader of the ones of Manchester and has football to bore. If the English win the Champions and the Belgian keeps on being decisive, as it has been it up to now, could win the Balloon of Gold, as it did Luka Modric in 2018.
