Robert Lewandowski deserves to have a Ballon d’Or in his trophy cabinet.
The 2020 edition of the award was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The magazine that gives out the award, France Football, said it was because a few months of the year were not played, because the matches were played in closed stadiums, and because some leagues cut their seasons short.
While these were worthwhile points, it should have not been enough to cancel the award. True, the matches were sometimes played with no fans, which was strange, but the titles won in those conditions are still recognized as absolutely legitimate.
