In his statements for the awarding of the Golden Ball, Lionel Messi chivalrously acknowledged the value of his great opponent Robert Lewandowski.
Lionel Messi, referring to Robert Lewandowski in his statements, shortly after winning the 7th Golden Ball in his career: "It is unbelievable that I am here again. I did not know what could happen and yet I am here again. I want to keep fighting the challenges, I do not know how much time I still have, but I hope it is enough because I love football. Thanks to all my teammates in Barcelona, Paris and Argentina. I was missing something and this year it ceased to be valid.
I managed to complete a dream and this award came for what we achieved in the Copa America. It's a special night. It is my honor to fight Lewandowski, you were the winner of the Golden Ball last year and France Football had to give you the award. "You were just a winner and you should have the title at home", were the words of the Argentine ace.
