The organisers don't believe that the conditions have been met for the award to be given.

"There will be no edition in 2020, because it turns out, after thoughtful consideration, that all the conditions are not met.

"We believe that such a singular year cannot - and should not - be treated as an ordinary one.

"From a sports perspective, two months (January and February), out of the 11 generally required to form an opinion and decide who should lift the trophies, represent far too little to gauge and judge, without forgetting that the other games were played - or will be played - in unordinary conditions (behind closed doors, with five replacements, Champions League played in a single game)."

Seems fair enough.

But I reckon Robert Lewandowski would have won it, I bet he's gutted as he'll never get a better chance.
 
Aye it’s a shame. He would of been my choice aswell, especially if they win the champions league which I do fancy them to do.
 
All these games we are playing are good enough to decide which teams win leagues, get relegated, qualify for competitions and trigger billion pound TV and sponsorship deals but they aren't enough for them to decide which player wins what is a glorified version of a man of the match? What pretentious b***ks.
 
Genuine question - what is the swear filter b***ks? I’m missing something obvious I’m sure but....
 
That’s b***ks surely? Not enough * in b***ks...? Anyway, since when has b***ks been a swear or are we really that offended?
 
Interesting, it filters it with only 3 *, as opposed to the 5 it should actually have to cover the olloc - well, you live and learn
 
It's always difficult to look past Messi to be honest.

His numbers every single season are ridiculous.

This season he's broke the record in La Liga for most assists and that's in arguably the worst Barcelona team he's played in.

To score and assist a total of 56 goals which of only 5 are penalties, is staggering.....and that includes playing in a team with Braithwaite...

I do think Lewandowski was rightly so favourite this season. He's been incredible for Bayern. He's the main reason why I fancy them to go all the way in the Champions League.
