Lionel Messi has been putting up unprecedented numbers for years now. His goals haven’t dried up in 2021 and he single-handedly carried an out-of-form FC Barcelona team to third place in La Liga last season. However, will this ensure Lionel Messi’s seventh Ballon d’Or win?

FC Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski has also been in the form of his life during the past two seasons, and the Polish striker has broken all records in the Bundesliga. He has helped Bayern win several matches and has already scored eight goals in five UEFA Champions League matches this season.

Lewandowski and Lionel Messi are the clear favorites for the Ballon D’Or this season, and according to one Manchester United legend, the results are already out.

Seconds later, the post was flooded with fans calling the award a robbery and calling for Robert Lewandowski to be awarded one. Evra saw the comments and replied, saying why he revealed the future in the first place.

When I talk it’s because Cristiano Ronaldo is my brother and when I told you the future you all say it’s a robbery. I love you all,” Evra commented.

Messi left Barcelona this season after the club failed to afford his wages due to La Liga regulations. He had a bad start in the league with PSG, as he had failed to score during the first few matches.

However, things changed two weeks ago as he scored his first goal and got three assists in one match against Saint Etienne during this game week.
