The much-awaited 2021 edition of the Ballon d'Or is finally here and fans cannot get enough of speculating whether Lionel Messi or Robert Lewandowski would have their hands on the coveted title. Messi had won this award the last time it took place, back in 2019. He had won it for the sixth time back then, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, who has five to his name. The awards were cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, something that was believed to be unjust to Robert Lewandowski, who had a terrific 2020-21 season. He is, however, once again in the mix and it would be interesting to see if he beats Messi to win the trophy for the very first time.  Ballon d'Or 2021 Ceremony: Date, Time in IST, Nominees, Online Streaming, TV Telecast in India and Other Things To Know About France Football's Yearly Awards
