From the source

Former Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski has offered his two cents on who he believes deserves the coveted Ballon d’Or. The Polish striker has a few names in mind, two of which hail from his former club in Munich.

In an interview with The Athletic (captured by @iMiaSanMia), Lewandowski had nothing but high praise for Lamine Yamal, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane when discussing potential winners for this year’s Ballon d’Or.

He admitted he is leaning toward Lamine Yamal bagging the prize, saying, “Of course, I push my finger for Lamine to win the Ballon d’Or, because he’s amazing, especially for his age.”
