Messi will dominate the Golden Ball record book... Until at least 2021

'France Football' Has answered to the rumours this Monday, and has confirmed that the Balloon of Gold 2020 has been cancelled. The official announcement of the decision has arrived after several months of assessments and debate, that have given place to an evident conclusion. In a season broken by the crisis of the coronavirus, any vote had been unfair and conditioned by too many external factors: The football has to follow commanding.

The arguments of the prestigious French magazine are so intelligible as expected. In his communiqué has explained that "exceptional circumstances require exceptional measures", and has signalled that "are missing the suitable conditions". January and February offer a scarce margin to define a vote, still lacking for contesting the Champions League and there are applicants with a campaign that has been finished ahead of time.

This unpublished 'solution' armours the first place of Leo Messi in the historical list of winners, in which it will be only at least until 2021. In the past edition, the captain of the FC Barcelona broke his tie with Cristiano Ronaldo, and reached the six entorchados by the five that possesses the Portuguese. With 33 and 35 years, fans and experts warn that his final is near, but the longed for succession for the moment has not concretised .

It is for seeing if the heir of two indisputable stars steps forward to the Balloon of Gold 2021. Only Luka Modric attained to break a command that has surpassed a decade, and that it could lengthen if the age respects to two footballers that are perpetually favourite. After them, in the classification stand out legends of the size of Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff and Marco Go Suffice, 'only' with three titles per person.

The coronavirus clears another vote contested

The pandemia has avoided finally another very contested vote, in which Leo Messi went back to be between the applicants. This course has not been the best for the one of Rosario, lastrado by the injuries and the fault of regularity of his team, and although only the Champions could avoid a year without collective titles, has gone back to beat records of goals and assistances and has achieved 30 and 26 in the 42 parties contested to date.

The Barcelona, this yes, did not go it to have easy to raise the trophy again, since it had firm competitors. Without being able to value to Neymar or Kylian Mbappé because it Tie it 1 gave by finalised, had consolidated a group perseguidor with Kevin Of Bruyne, Sergio Bouquets or Karim Benzema just underneath of Cristiano (32 so many and seven assistances in 41 encuentos and with the Series To to shot) and, especially, Robert Lewandowski, that aims to the triplete and has achieved the friolera of 51 targets and six definite passes in 43 apparitions.
