The Argentine, who wins record seventh Golden Ball in Paris in his career, there is a proposal for the first people of "France Football" who award the prize for the best football player in the world.

After Lionel Messi was officially named Player of the Year, many commented on social media that the PSG player did not deserve the award, but Robert Lewandowski, who previously was named the best striker in the world.

Messi himself agrees with that, in his speech after receiving the new "Golden Ball" he sent a message to the people from the French magazine:

- I want to mention Robert Lewandowski, I was honored to compete with him for this award. Everyone knows and we all agree that he deserved to be the winner last year.

I think France Football should give him the Golden Ball for 2020. You deserve Robert, and you should have it at home - said Messi.
