Polish footballer, Robert Lewandowski rues voting for 3-time World Best Footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo to be crowned the Ballon d’Or winner.
The Bayern Munich star told www.kicker.de he should have chosen his teammate Manuel Neuer over the Real Madrid legend. His choices were; Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Neuer and Bastian Schweinsteiger. He was also shocked to find out Neuer didn’t come second.
“It was a mistake on my part to have chosen Ronaldo. I would clearly choose Neuer today if I had the chance but I voted sometime in August. Today I would choose
differently. I’m very sorry for Manu.”
He continued, “I am really surprised that he did not even come in second and the big gap to Ronaldo also baffles me. Manuel is an amazing goalkeeper and person.”
