As far as awarding the Poland international is concerned, the Ballon d’or chiefs have not ruled out the possibility.
Speaking to Watson via Bulinews, France Football editor-in-chief Pascal Ferré said Ballon d’Or organisers were considering awarding Lewandowski but there was no certainty as no voting was done last year.
