9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Morten]

Considering the world cup is so late, Lewandowski has basically zero chance of winning ballon dor next year.

 

[Morten]

Wasn't really slaying it with Poland anyway.

Just the fact that he plays for Poland says it all, how can he possibly compete with the top nations?

Besides, he did about as well as he could have.

Okay. I thought you meant since WC would be so late in the year it would not be taken into consideration for balon dor 2022.
Balon dor is in october, when was wc gonna take place?

Relax, he'll pull a Maradona 86 and carry Poland to the cup

Balon Dor will surely be extended to include the world cup, im sure you can imagine the pressure that will come from every big nation.

So, if(when) that happens, the hype of the world cup, not to mention recency bias, will make half of the season irrelevant.

Yes you're right. Balon Dor will likely be moved.

In 17/18, feel that he should have been at least top 3 with the season he had, even in a WC year.

With the WC22 happening in Nov-Dec., not sure how the voting deadline will happen for the Ballon D'or 22.

Ramos cost Salah the ballon d'or in 2018.

This guy is making a serious push for top 5 striker of all time with the way he keeps on dropping goals, especially in CL.

R9, Gerd Muller, Van Basten are top 3

He'll be right below them I think

 

[gregorrin10]

That makes it 81 goals in 100 CL appearances for Lewangolski.

 

[raskolnikov]

He's just benefiting from playing in a stacked team that creates everything for him.
He isnt better than Benzema or Salah.

 

[fergus90]

Great striker but my god he’s living the dream at Bayern with the amount of danger they create.

Pretty much every Bayern attack results in a great chance. Seriously depressing when watching current Barca lol.

 

[Hardy]

without that injury he would finished around 75 goals this year (and who know, maybe he'll hit anyway lol)

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Wtf this guy just cant stop scoring
