Robert Lewandowski has sent a reminder to Erling Haaland that he might not be a shoo-in for next year’s Best Striker award at the Ballon d’Or.
The Gerd Muller trophy is handed to the attacker who has impressed most over the last year and Monday was the second time Lewandowski had picked up the accolade. The Poland great netted 57 times last season in all, 50 of them for Bayern Munich.
The 34-year-old has scored 14 times in 13 outings for new club Barcelona this season, something that has largely been overlooked due to Haaland’s epic return for Manchester City.
