The history of football continues to be written by the planet’s football superstar Lionel Messi, who was recognized as the best football player on the planet on Monday night, receiving the “Ballon d’Or” trophy for the seventh time in his career. The second richest player in the Ballon d’Or trophies is Christian Ronaldo, who has won it five times. Ronald finished sixth this year, falling outside the top three for the first time since 2010.
Last year, the Ballon d’Or was not presented, but Levandowski was a clear favorite. “I would like to mention Robert. I am honored to have had the opportunity to compete for this prize. I think France Football should give him the Best Player of the Year 2020 award. “

Since 1956, France Football has awarded the Ballon d’Or to the continent’s Best Footballer Award, but as the winner of this award was often identical to the winner of the FIFA World’s Best Footballer Survey, FIFA the initiatives of President Zepa Blater were merged. FIFA’s best player was voted on by national team captains, head coaches and journalists, and was later adopted by the Ballon d’Or.
With FIFA terminating its contract with France Football, from 2017 the best football player in Europe and the best football player in the world will once again be identified in separate polls. The Ballon d’Or was not awarded last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
