Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski hopes to be awarded the prestigious “Ballon d’Or” for the best footballer this year. The Polish striker has received a lot of encouragement from his own camp, as he beat Gerd Müller’s 40-goal record, which was considered unbeatable, by one goal in the previous Bundesliga season. “You don’t have to discuss it, Lewy (Lewandowski; editor’s note) has to get the thing, of course. He absolutely deserves it“, explained team-mate Thomas Müller after Munich’s work victory against Arminia Bielefeld (1-0) Sky.

Against Bielefeld, the sovereign leader in the top scorer list was only left without a goal for the third time this season in the league. Lewandowski scored 25 goals in the 20 competitive games of the current season alone. For Müller there is therefore no serious competition to the 33-year-old in the race for the award. “Now people in Spain will say that Benzema did a great job too, but Lewy won everything with us, then the election was canceled, then he set the scoring record next season. And then you have to see what he does with the Polish national team“said the Munich offensive player.

Lewandowski’s coach Julian Nagelsmann also spoke out in favor of his protégé. “There are sure to be people, regardless of the industry, who, regardless of the industry, have moments when they sit back and relax with so much success. When I see pictures of him and his bag of balls, I don’t think he has moments when he relaxes – and if he leans back, he comes back up on the sit-up, “said the coach. CEO Oliver Kahn had already called Lewandowski the “best player in the world” and announced that he would like to follow the award ceremony in Paris on site. “I would be deeply disappointed if he didn’t win the award. Nobody deserves it more than he does,” was the clear announcement from the FCB boss.
