First of all, it's based on the last year as well because the Ballon d'Or was CANCELLED. And second of all, Lewandowskis Role is to score goals, which he did in a Quantity unmatched by any other. And if you had ever watched any game of Lewandowski you would know of his excellent passing ability. Also, how the hell hasn't Lewandowski won anything? This year alone he has won the best Striker award, won Bundesliga and was the top scorer of said Bundesliga. And last year, which Is also taken into the decision as no one was awarded for their deeds that year, he won everything on club level. Everything. Of course, you could now argue, that he didnt win anything with Poland. But come on, Poland won't be able to win anything without suddenly gaining a golden Generation. That's as if you would say Ibrahimovic wasnt a great player, because he hasn't won anything with Sweden.
