Lionel Messi won the men’s Ballon d’Or for a record seventh time and Alexia Putellas won the women’s Ballon d’Or on Tuesday. The 34-year-old Messi led Argentina to the Copa America title in July after losing in four major international finals. The Argentine also complimented Robert Lewandowski for his brilliant performance. The 27-year-old midfielder Putellas won the award for the first time after helping Barca win the treble and scored 26 goals in 42 games overall. She netted in the Champions League final against Chelsea, and in August she was named U E F A women’s player of the year. The only previous women’s award winners are Norway striker Ada Hegerberg in 2018, and U S forward Megan Rapinoe in 2019. The 2020 awards were canceled because the coronavirus pandemic disrupted the season. Cristiano Ronaldo finishes outside the top three in the Ballon d’Or for the first time since 2010.
