The 2021 finalists were Lionel Messi (PSG, Argentina) and Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich, Poland). Messi won the final points margin by a 613-580 count to win his seventh Ballon d’Or. He’s now won each of the past two awards in 2021 and 2019. No trophy was awarded in 2020 because of the coronavirus.
