As a passionate football fan, I have witnessed countless moments of brilliance on the pitch, moments that captivate the heart and define the essence of the beautiful game. Yet, in 2020, one such moment of recognition was cruelly missed due to the unforeseen impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a year when Robert Lewandowski, with his incredible skills, dedication, and outstanding performance, stood as the undisputed frontrunner for the Ballon d'Or. However, due to the circumstances of the pandemic, the prestigious award was not held, leaving Lewandowski without this well-deserved accolade.

Throughout that year, Lewandowski's performance was nothing short of spectacular. He scored 55 goals in 47 matches and led Bayern Munich to a triumphant season, clinching the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League titles. His contribution was unanimously acknowledged by football enthusiasts and professionals alike, including many famous players, who declared that Lewandowski deserved the Ballon d'Or.

In a similar vein, France Football, the prestigious organization behind the Ballon d'Or, has conducted special votes like 'Ballon d'Or Dream Team.' This shows that it's entirely feasible for them to organize a vote that considers exceptional circumstances. Given the weight of this argument, we urge France Football to hold a special vote to decide if Lewandowski should be awarded a retrospective Ballon d'Or for 2020.

Robert Lewandowski's brilliance deserves to be etched in the annals of football history and honored with the award that acknowledges and celebrates the pinnacle of individual performance in this beloved sport. By allowing a special vote, we can correct the course of history and give Lewandowski the recognition that he rightly deserves.

Please join me in calling for France Football to hold a special Ballon d'Or vote for Robert Lewandowski. Sign this petition and help rectify this historic oversight.
