Robert Lewandowski, who plays forward for Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich, has taken a fresh swipe at Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi, Newspremises reports.




The 2021 FIFA Best player, Robert Lewandowski has said his award is more prestigious than the popular Balon D'Or award that he was reportedly denied.

It will be recalled that Messi edged out the Pole to take home his record-breaking seventh Ballon d’Or title in October.

Lewandowski has now moved to stoke the flames between the two players, by claiming that FIFA’s Best Men’s Player award is more important than the Ballon d’Or.
