As a long-time admirer of the beautiful game, it's disheartening to see one of football’s finest players, Robert Lewandowski, not receiving the recognition he truly deserves. When France Football decided to cancel the 2020 Ballon d’Or due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they missed the opportunity to crown an exemplary athlete who had an extraordinary season.

During the 2019-2020 football season, Lewandowski was a force of nature, leading Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League. He finished as the top scorer in all three competitions, achieving 55 goals in 47 appearances. 

Unfortunately, the decision to cancel the award deprived Lewandowski of this deserved recognition, leaving a significant void in the history of football. It’s not just about the trophy itself; it’s about honoring a career season that should serve as an inspiration for players around the globe. Many critics and fans worldwide echo the sentiment that Lewandowski was without a doubt the player of the year 2020.

Adding to this, in the 2021 Ballon d’Or ceremony, Lewandowski finished second to Lionel Messi. The decision not to award the 2021 Ballon d’Or to the Polish player caused a lot of debate, as Lewandowski had another outstanding season. Messi’s victory in 2021 remains one of the most controversial Ballon d’Or decisions in recent years.

Therefore, we urge France Football to reconsider its decision and finally award Robert Lewandowski the 2020 Ballon d’Or. Such an action would not only correct an oversight but also demonstrate to the world of football that moments of greatness on the pitch are rightfully honored and remembered.

Let's stand together and advocate for justice in football. Sign this petition to honor Robert Lewandowski, one of the most iconic and legendary players in football history, and one of the most prolific goalscorers of all time ,  with the 2020 Ballon d’Or, commemorating his unparalleled contribution to the sport.
