Messi and Lewandowski have been football legends for many years, and both have won numerous titles and awards during their careers, but a recent incident has garnered a lot of attention and controversy. The controversy over the Ballon d'Or has undoubtedly become a hot topic in football circles. Lewandowski has expressed his desire for the Ballon d'Or many times, but he missed the Ballon d'Or for various reasons, and Messi has become his replacement, which undoubtedly makes him feel lost. In a public event in 2021, Lewandowski expressed dissatisfaction with Messi's award, which sparked widespread discussion and speculation.
First, let's review the origins of this controversy. When Messi won his seventh Ballon d'Or in 2021, Lewandowski lost the chance to win the Ballon d'Or due to the cancellation of the Ballon d'Or due to the pandemic, which made him feel frustrated. After becoming a loser to the Ballon d'Or, he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the results of the Ballon d'Or selection and insinuated that Messi stole the Ballon d'Or. This has sparked widespread concern and controversy, especially among fans and experts. Secondly, Messi won the Copa America, which is undoubtedly a very important honor. At club level, Messi's performance has not been ideal.
After failing to negotiate a contract extension with Barcelona in the summer, he had no choice but to move to Paris Saint-Germain, and his performances in Ligue 1 did not meet expectations. Lewandowski has achieved very good results in club and national team competitions, especially in the national team. This also made Lewandowski a favorite for the Golden Globe in the hearts of many people. However, a series of remarks made by Lewandowski caused Messi's dissatisfaction. After he communicated the issue with Messi during the World Cup match against Poland, Messi also publicly expressed his displeasure on the Star+ program of ESPN Argentina.
Messi said that Lewandowski was deeply troubled by his remarks and that he was still unhappy with them despite the fact that he had expressed his thoughts. This was undoubtedly a surprise and shock to many fans. Regarding this controversy, fans have also expressed their opinions. Some people think it's understandable that Messi expressed his displeasure after winning the Ballon d'Or, but others believe that fans shouldn't be too harsh and they should respect the hard work and dedication of every player. In short, the controversy between Messi and Lewandowski has undoubtedly become a hot topic in football circles.
Whether it is Messi or Lewandowski, they are both legendary players in the football world, and I believe that through this controversy, they will work harder to create more brilliance for their careers.
