Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski expects Real Madrid ace Karim Benzema to win the Ballon d’Or.
In an interview with #Vamos, the Barcelona goalscorer recalled his pain at the Ballon d’Or snub, as well as discussing Los Cules’ current campaign.
After missing out on the award in such difficult circumstances, the Barcelona forward admitted he hopes the same doesn’t happen to Benzema in 2022.
“The Ballon d’Or is likely to be won by Benzema… if they don’t cancel it,” he joked.
Barcelona‘s 3-3 draw with Inter was a hammer blow to the club’s Champions League campaign, yet Lewandowski is convinced his team will bounce back.
“After a bad game you have to face reality in the best way, show that you can play good football and win,” he detailed.
“It’s a bit of a difficult moment but we know we have the opportunity in the Clasico, to go out there and win the game.
“After the disappointment of the Champions League game, we have the opportunity to change our mentality and that of our fans. It’s a huge challenge.
“I think its history, everything that happens around it means it’s one of the games of the year.”
