AS MUCH four legends say Lionel Messi doesn’t deserve to win a trophy Ballon dOr 2021. In their view, there are players who are considered to have a more fantastic 2020-2021 season than The flea – the nickname of Lionel Messi.
It’s just, the rice has become porridge and Lionel Messi crowned the winner. So, who are the four names in question?
Here are 4 legends who say Lionel Messi doesn’t deserve the 2021 Ballon d’Or trophy:
4. Oliver Kahn
The legend and CEO of Bayern Munich, Oliver Kahn, thinks that Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich/Poland) is more worthy of winning the 2021 Ballon d’Or trophy. The reason is because Robert Lewandowski performed extraordinary throughout 2020-2021, to be precise with a collection of 48 goals from 41 matches with Bayern Munich.
“Lewandowski deserves both the Ballon d’Or and the best striker title. Even without the Ballon d’Or trophy, Lewandowski has reached the Olympus of football a long time ago,” said Oliver Kahn, quoting the Mirror.
3. Toni Kroos
This one is not yet in the legend category, but is in the process of getting there. The flamboyant German midfielder said Lionel Messi doesn’t deserve to win the 2021 Ballon d’Or.
“Obviously Messi doesn’t deserve (to win the 2021 Ballon d’Or). Without a doubt, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have competed in the last decade. However, this year there are players who are better than them, namely Karim Benzema,” said Toni Kroos.
