Unprecedented! Lewandowski Still could receive his deserved Balloon of Gold of 2020

The year 2020 was historical for the magazine 'France Football' and his prestigious award, the Balloon of Gold. Lamentably, this period was not a positive year, since it will be remembered like the only from 1954, when it initiated the prize, in which it did not deliver to any winner because of the impact of the pandemia of COVID-19. In a communiqué, the French magazine aseveró: "we Think that a so only year can not and does not have to be treated like ordinary".

In this sense, the player that seems to have been the big prejudiced by this situation was the Polish forward Robert Lewandowski. The ariete was considered like the main favourite to win the prize, since in the season 2019/20 invoiceed 55 annotations and gave 10 assistances in 47 commitments with the elastic of the Bayern Munich. Besides, with the 'Die Roten' won the UEFA Champions League, the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal, being the maximum goleador in these three tournaments. His contribution was really invaluable.

In front of this, although they have happened four years, 'Lewy' still conserves a remarkable optimism regarding the option that 'France Football' award him this award, although it was tardíamente. Recently, it expressed in an interview to the portal German web 'Sport BILD': "Of course that it had liked me receive the Balloon of Gold some day. It is not that it was angered or sad because I still do not have this trophy, but my feeling is that it had been able to win it in any one of the two years". Besides, it added: "Say it like this: if it received the Balloon of Gold 2020 four years afterwards, would not feel me offended. It would be a big honour and would accept the prize".

It will do justice in the case of Robert Lewandowski?

It is not clear if this statement has had repercussions, but as it commented in 'SPORT', the French magazine would be evaluating the possibility to award him the prize to the Polish forward. Although there is not a definite decision, stands out that the options of Robert Lewandowski could increase because of an open investigation in France on the Balloon of Gold 2021, that won Leo Messi and in which the current '9' of the FC Barcelona remained second. Purportedly, the investigation is due to the presumptive pressure exerted by Paris Saint-Germain to 'France Football' to favour to the Argentinian.

Why it would be beneficial for Lewandowski? Apparently, this investigation concerns a lot to the managers of the magazine, since they fear that it can damage his prestige. Therefore, 'France Football' would not see with bad eyes award finally the prize to the exjugador of the Borussia Dortmund. It would be an act of historical rectification and, in consequence, an important improvement for the reputation of the magazine.

Besides, increasingly voices add to the idea that the 'killer' native of Warsaw deserves this recognition. Increasingly sectors of the press pronounce on the subject. In fact, Fabrizio Romano, one of the most influential journalists in the world-wide sportive field, recently expressed it in one of the pódcast more popular of Poland, 'Pogadajmy or Piłce': "Claro that deserves that Balloon of Gold, was the one who more goals marked and the one who more trophies won that year, would be a big news that 'France Football' delivered him the prize. In fact, no only by that year, but by an exceptional career that not even has finish still. I expect that pass and that they can correct what in that moment was an error".
