Some time has passed since Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski verbally attacked Lionel Messi. Now the Argentine shoots back with clear words.
Messi vs. Lewandowski: After FC Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski criticized Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi, the latter is now taunting TyC Sports. Lewandowski can “say what he wants”. This does not interest the 34-year-old, nor does he share his opinion or have “attributed importance” to the statements.
The cause of the dispute: In the 2021 Ballon d’Or election, Messi, as captain of the Argentine national team, was considered eligible to vote, but did not distribute any of his three votes to Lewandowski, who later came in second. Messi won. Just a few months later, the Pole had expressed his displeasure with the behavior of his football colleague.
World footballers among themselves: The Ballon d’Or is awarded annually by the French magazine “France Football” and, like FIFA, honors the footballer of the year in a separate procedure. Lewandowski currently holds the title, but Messi has often impressed the jury with his skills.
