Ballon d’Or 2021 predictions- Who has a chance to win football’s most prestigious prize?

Robert Lewandowski-

Had the award for 2020 not been canceled Robert Lewandowski would have surely won it. He led Bayern Munich to a treble that season also winning the sextuple (all 6 major trophies). This season Robert Lewandowski broke German legend Gerd Muller’s 49-year-old record in dramatic fashion scoring 41 goals in 29 games. Lewandowski broke it in dramatic fashion, scoring in the 90^th minute with what was the last game of the season.

Give the Ballon d’Or Robert Lewandowski

■ 50 goals ⚽️
■ Bundesliga 🏆
■ FIFA Club World Cup 🏆
■ DFL-Supercup 🏆
■ European Golden Shoe 🥇
■ Set Bundesliga record for goals in a single season (41) 👑

You can’t give someone a Ballon d’or for winning Copa America.

Ballon d’Or 2021 predictions- Who has a chance to win football’s most prestigious prize?

Karim Benzema-

Karim Benzema has made a late surge for the ballon d’or starting the new season on fire scoring 12 goals and providing 7 assists. The Real Madrid talisman has been in stunning form this year, with him involved in 49 g/a in 49 games in 2021, Karim Benzema was Laliga’s 2^nd top scorer behind Leo Messi, while Real Madrid failed to win the league on the last day of the season behind Atletico Madrid.

Karim Benzema took a depleted Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-finals scoring 6 goals in the process. Karim Benzema had a brilliant UEFA euro campaign scoring 4 goals for France, while his 2 goals in as many games helped France to win the 2^nd edition of the UEFA Nations League.

Benzema being a favourite for Ballon D’Or has clearly shaken Messi FC, Barcelona fans, Bayern fans & the whole of Poland. Benzema, unlike Kante, Jorginho & others plays for Real Madrid, is backed by Florentino Perez, big Spanish media & French media. A major threat to Messi! pic.twitter.com/Y7TKYX7fYI

Cristiano Ronaldo-

The 5-time ballon d’or winner didn’t had his best season but still managed to be Serie A’s top scorer scoring 29 in the league, despite Ronaldo’s best-efforts Juventus’s 9-year Serie A winning streak came to an end. Cristiano couldn’t prevent Juventus from embarrassingly exiting the Champions League at the hands of Porto, Ronaldo was also UEFA Euro 2020’s top scorer, scoring 5 goals. He won Italian super cup and Italian cup. Ronaldo has also hit the Ground running at his new club Manchester United scoring 5 goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Insane 2021 is really criminally underrated.

Just remind Ronaldo is only 3 goals away from Messi, who is considered as Ballon D’or favorite by medias. pic.twitter.com/jZNxYlOfgm
