Davies: Lewandowski not winning Ballon d'Or upset Bayern players, this was his year

Alphonso Davies says Bayern Munich’s players were upset that Robert Lewandowski didn’t get the chance to win the Ballon d’Or this year.

The 2020 Ballon d’Or was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, and Lewandowski – who was named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year on Thursday – would surely have been the frontrunner if the award ceremony had gone ahead.

The 32-year-old won the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble with Bayern in 2019-20 and was top scorer in each competition with a remarkable 55 goals in 47 games.
