Rivaldo: Messi is not number one But it’s one of the top three players of all time.
Throughout the past There have been issues that need serious debate. Regarding the Ballon d’Or award in the 2020-21 season between Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski, both of whom have had outstanding performances by Messi. Zi, who led Argentina to the Copa America title, while Lewandowski broke the Bundesliga record for the most goals scored in a season in place of Gerd Muller, who He’s held the title since the 1971-72 season, scoring 40 goals.
which Rivaldo, a former star of the Brazilian national football team Has come out to praise Lionel Messi worthy of the Ballon d’Or award for the seventh time, but the blood-blue-white shooting star. Still not the number 1 player of all time.
Barcelona legend Rivaldo believes that Lionel Messi, the Argentine striker of the Paris Saint-Germain team. Still not the greatest footballer of all time, for Messi, he was voted ahead of Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski and earned him the title. The Ballon d’Or award for the year 2021 came on Monday, November 29, which is considered the seventh time he has been on the stage for this great award.
Messi clinched the 2021 Golden Ball award by defeating Robert Lewandowski by just 33 votes, earning him the Golden Ball award. This honor has taken over a total of 7 terms.
And although many football stars consider Lewandowski to be more deserving, Rivaldo has expressed confidence that Messi deserves the award. When looking at the results in which he led the Argentina national team to win the Copa America. But if praised that Messi is the number 1 player of all time in the football industry. It would probably look a bit over the top.
Rivaldo, 49-carat, who won the Ballon d’Or in 1999, said: “He deserves it. If you look at his performances that helped Argentina to win the Copa America, which is the trophy they have been wanting for many years. And he is also the best player of the tournament.”
“For the Ballon d’Or there are always debates like this. Because it comes from the votes of many people around the world. And at different times, there are some great players, and for me, Karim Benzema (Real Madrid’s striker) deserves the same award as Lewandowski and Messi. Zi, unfortunately, in the end, there was only one person who received the award.”
“He (Messi) will be remembered as one of the best players of all time. But it would be difficult to say. He’s the best of all time. Because he still has to continue to chase the world champion with Argentina, others such as Pele, he has won the world championship several times. So I don’t think Messi will be regarded as the greatest footballer of all time. but in the top three There must be him for sure.”
