Robert Lewandowski, who plays forward for Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich, has taken a fresh swipe at Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi, Newspremises reports.

Lewandowski was named 2021 FIFA Best Men’s Player last month, beating second-placed Messi to the prize.

Two months earlier, Messi edged out the Pole to take home his record-breaking seventh Ballon d’Or title.

The Ballon d’Or final votes had led to some criticisms, with observers claiming that Lewandowski had been robbed.

Lewandowski has now moved to stoke the flames between the two players, by claiming that FIFA’s Best Men’s Player award is more important than the Ballon d’Or.

“I have been thinking lately and I have come to the conclusion that the FIFA award is more important.

“Only journalists vote for the Ballon d’Or, there is no clear verification.

“Instead, professional football and the press vote for the FIFA award.

“Perhaps in the prestigious ranking, the Ballon d’Or is better positioned, but the recognition I received by winning The Best makes me proud because I know how hard I worked for many years,” he told a Polish magazine, as per Marca.

That's his own personal way of consoling himself cos if he truly considered Fifa best as better than Ballon dor, he wouldnt still be crying several months after.

The fact, which he himself has mentioned in his above quote in bold, is that Ballon dor is more prestigious and valuable in the football world now. All the other wailings including his are irrelevant. EOD.

the pain is strong in this one

Make Ronaldo fanboys dey deceive on twitter, when Salah or Mbappe win Balon D'or, him eye go clear.

We all know that midget scammed you of the award

Story

being among the best is honourable and being the best is a noble, awards are confirmations and pride.

This one still dey cry over balloon d or

Winningbot:

Abi oooo

Politics is everywhere is not how you play but achievement and numbers of fans you have if you doubt me ask the two goats.

M

Just watch as Messi fans will begin their attack on him

Still baffles how that short engine was able to win the ballon d'or. But the thing pain lewandoski die.

Messi winning the ballon d or was the biggest scam in the history of football,let us be truthful without sentiment cz even Messi knows this and the world football governing body are all set of clowns corrupt individuals

Oga FIFA is the world football governing body and not a group of French journalists.The Ballon dor came to become so valued because FIFA partnered with them.

In the coming years the Ballon dor will lose its value since FIFA has pulled out.

This guy don take this thing P o.

Players wey no come win anyone nko? Abi Okoye no be player?

Asin eh, in own Don worst Ronaldo, I like him , but it seems he has bad personality

This Nairaland and their Ronaldo fan mods seff
How many people noticed that there was no single front page post about Ronaldo missing a penalty yesterday?
I can Imagine the scenes here at Nairaland stadium if the tables were turned
You will be seeing FrontPage topics like
"Messi marks birthday with a penalty miss"
What do I expect anyway?
outdated forum with their outdated mods.

Of course.

Lewandowski is still pained,he doesn't deserve the FIFA best sef,they used that one to console him. Messi deserved the award.
He still has this year to go for the balloon dor,let I'm leave all this unnecessary talks and focus before mbappe and Salah collect am from him hand,that time im go say golden boot is more prestigious than balloon dor and FIFA best,,na wetin some people goat talk when Messi dey dwarf am for balloon dor

thesicilian:

Ogbeni talk for yourself. What is everyone?

Nothing but the Truth.......

Of course FIFA is the world football governing body, so theirs has to be the most important.

While Ballon D'or can be scrapped at any time, FIFA will always remain FIFA

I agree abeg.
