Iran Press/ Europe: At a time when speculation is rife, the organizers continue to refine the final details of the Ballon d'Or ceremony this Monday evening at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. If some are regulars of the evening, the Purnell brand will release its new three-year partnership with France Football magazine.
Specializing in luxury watches, the Swiss company has even developed a tailor-made model that will reward the winner alongside the traditional Ballon d'Or trophy.
"France Football will present to the respective winners of the 2021 Golden Ball (Ballon d'Or) for men and women a unique Purnell watch with a model specially designed and designated for this event", specifies the Swiss watchmaker on its website.
The Ballon d'Or ceremony will reward the best player of the year 2021 tonight (Monday).
Who will win Ballon d'Or 2021?
Messi's main competitor is the goal scorer of Bayern Munich and Poland Robert Lewandowski. The striker was the most successful player in the world last year and improved several records. Still, Bayern did not perform strongly in defending their title in the Champions League, and Poland was eliminated in the group stage of Euro 2022.
Somewhat surprisingly, the bookmakers put Jorgeninho in third place. The midfielder won the Champions League with Chelsea and soon after became European champions with Italy, with a high level of performance, but can hardly be compared individually with Messi and Lewandowski.
Real Madrid veteran Karim Benzema, who maintains a consistently high level for both the club and the national team, also has little chance of the Golden Ball. Liverpool goalscorer Mohamed Salah has been performing exceptionally in recent months, which has raised expectations that he can also claim the Golden Ball. Still, the probability of this seems minor. At the same time, the star of Portugal and Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo, has no chance of sixth success in the standings. after the disappointing results of Juventus, Portugal, and United.
