Football fans are wondering over this rumour, not to mention they are expecting Robert Lewandowski to lift the award. He would have won his first Ballon d’or in 2020 but the ceremony was cancelled due to COVID-19.

Everyone have different opinions, including some legends like Luis Suarez and Rivaldo. Suarez, in fact, is ready to give his Ballon d’Or to Lewa if he doesn’t get his first this year.

“Give Robert Lewandowski the Ballon d’Or! If you don’t, then I am giving him mine,” said 1960 Ballon d’Or winner Luis Suarez.

1999 Ballon d’Or winner Rivaldo said: “Robert Lewandowski is the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or when it is awarded on 29 November. He would be a deserved winner”.
