Robert's time has come, finally!
Four years later, the Ballond’Ororganisers are contemplating awarding Lewandowski the coveted prize (during the October ceremony this year) that he deserved in 2020.
Speaking on the same, Robert said he is not angry at missing out on his moment but admits he wishes tobe awardedfor his performances in those two seasons.
"Of course, I would have liked to receive the Ballond'Oraward,"Lewandowski said to Sport Bild last month."It'snot thatI'mangry or wistful because this trophy is still missing. Butmy feeling is thatit would have been my turn in one of the two years."
Meanwhile,Lewandowski’sagent recently confirmed that despite all the rumours of him leaving the club, the Polish captain continues to stay at Camp Nou for the upcoming season.
