It was a straight contest between Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski for the 2021 Ballon d’Or, and in the end, it was the Argentine who took home the crown.

He already held the record for six Ballons d’Or triumphs, but as has been the case throughout his career, Messi has gone one step further and shattered his own tally, now sitting pretty on seven.

Following Messi’s emergence, a large section of football fans felt Lewandowski was robbed of the award, taking to social media to air their opinions on the development.

A few felt The Argentine deserved it following his Copa America success with Argentina in the summer. Other just hailed the greatness that Messi represents.

Here are some reactions gathered by GwG

No offence to Messi but he's not even in the Top2 players at PSG, let alone best in the world. #BallonDor

Anyways, it's FIFA I blame. Although, it's not like things are different with their own awards.

I know Messi is a great player and Argentina won Copa but can’t help thinking Lewandowski deserved it more given he missed out last year.

They robbed Lewandowski again. If I was the one, I won’t honor their invite any longer. What exactly did Messi achieve in the year in question? What a mockery of an award!

For all those saying Lewandowski deserved the Ballon d’or, you can organize your own awards and crown him the best.

That is a hollow and undeserved win for Lionel Messi. Sub-standard season for Barcelona and slow start at PSG and yet he’s handed the Ballon d’Or. Robert Lewandowski should have won it twice now, for last year and this year.

Lewandowski has won the ‘striker of the year’ award. Good, now hand him the real award he deserves. This is pure robbery. Messi doesn’t deserve the award. #ballondor pic.twitter.com/NMsLbfALz0

I like how France Football were strategic with the biggest Football robbery. Introducing a new award category to compensate Lewandowski so they can give the Ballon D’Or to Messi.

Lewandowski becomes the 2nd great player to be robbed of a #BallonDor by Messi.

The first was Iniesta in 2010.

History repeats itself.

No. Lewandowski was NOT robbed. Should he have won it in 2020? Yes, however 2021 is a whole different year and if you argue against Messi being the best player in the world this year then you don’t know ball ?‍♂️

A worried Barca fans hoping Lewandowski doesn’t take out his perceived disappointment on Barcelona as they meet in the Champions League group stages soon
