Robert Lewandowski believes his prospects of winning the Ballon d’Or have improved since joining Barcelona from Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski came within a whisker of winning the Ballon d’Or in 2021, but Lionel Messi pipped him to win his record-extending seventh Golden Ball.
However, the 34-year-old will be among the contenders again this year and will hope to be in the running again in 2022 if he continues to impress at Camp Nou.

What Did Lewandowski Say About Winning The Ballon D’or?
The Poland international moved from Bayern Munich to Barcelona for €50m (£42m/$51m) in the summer, and he has since been a complete success for his new team.
He has scored 11 goals in eight games across all competitions. He still has his sights set on winning his first Ballon d’Or, and he thinks that representing Barcelona would help him achieve that goal.

“I know that Barcelona are a team where the most players have won it,” Lewandowski said in a press conference while away on international duty with Poland.
“I think the path is shorter from Barcelona than from Bayern (Munich).”
On September 23 and 26, respectively, Poland will play the Netherlands and Wales in the Nations League. Lewandowski is expected to lead the line for his country.
