Finally, the time has arrived for the best player in the World to claim Ballon d’Or 2021 which will be hosted tomorrow. It will be interesting to see who will come out on top this year as there are many worthy candidates.
Lionel Messi is more than a favorite this season guiding Argentina to Copa America glory this year. Meanwhile, he also performed exceptionally well in La Liga playing his final season for the club. He is tipped to win the Ballon d’Or this year and it will be a major disappointment if he fails to add one more to his collection.
On the other hand, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski is another footballer who deserves Ballon d’Or for his contribution to the game. The Polish striker has broken many records in terms of goals scored and is one of the most lethal strikers in the World.

1. Lionel Messi
34-years-old Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of football. Subsequently, he has 6 Ballon d’Or’s in the trophy cabinet and still strives to be one of the best players in the World. Messi found the net 38 times last season in 45 appearances in all competitions.
He has competed in the sport for more than 20 years now and it looks like that his time is also coming to an end. It would be a perfect way for Messi to retire from the sport after winning his seventh Ballon d’Or.
Betting Odds: 4/11
2. Robert Lewandowski
Polish striker Robert Lewandowski is currently the best forward in the whole World and is on the verge of setting a milestone. He has scored so many goals for Bayern Munich and almost looks unstoppable. Lewandowski deserves to win a Ballon d’Or for his sheer passion and dedication which makes him the best striker in the World. He managed to bag 48 goals in 40 appearances last season in all competitions.
Betting Odds: 2/1
3. Karim Benzema
French forward Karim Benzema is third on the list this season but it will be a difficult challenge for the Frenchman to beat these 2 legends. However, you cannot keep him out of the race as he managed to score 30 goals in 46 appearances last season.
Betting Odds: 25/1
