France Football\u2019s editor-in-chief, Pascal Ferre, has revealed that he did not put Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s Lionel Messi first during the 2021 Ballon d\u2019 Or voting.<\/p>\n

According to Ferre, he voted for Bayern Munich\u2019s Robert Lewandowski over Messi for the 2021 Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

The France Football are the organizers of the Ballon d\u2019Or ceremony, which takes place every year.<\/p>\n

Messi recently won the 2021 Ballon d\u2019 Or<\/a>\u00a0ahead of Lewandowski and Chelsea\u2019s Jorginho.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MARCA, Ferre said: \u201cThe Ballon d\u2019Or is based on a democratic system. There are 170 members of the jury and they have decided to vote for Messi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t put Messi first. I chose Lewandowski, but I think Messi deserves the Ballon d\u2019Or as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewandowski has been very unlucky in not winning the Ballon d\u2019Or over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n

The Polish international netted 55 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions for Bayern Munich as they won the treble during the 2019\/2020 campaign.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old would have easily won the Ballon d\u2019Or in 2020, but the ceremony was cancelled due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
