Flick Effect to Finally help Lewandowski secure Ballond'Or 

Lewandowski and Hansi Flick share a strong connection due to their time together at Bayern Munich. During this period, Lewandowski established himself as one of the best strikers globally, competing with the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or.

Flick played a significant role in Lewandowski's development, and in turn, Lewandowski contributed to Flick's coaching reputation. 

Flick's understanding of how to maximize Lewandowski's potential is evident from the striker's impressive record of 83 goals in 71 games. Lewandowski was the top scorer during Flick's tenure at Bayern Munich.

The Polish striker had an outstanding 2020/21 season, scoring 41 goals in 29 appearances, averaging about one goal per hour. This achievement made him the top scorer in a single Bundesliga campaign in the 21st century.

Lewandowski came close to winning the Ballon d'Or in 2021, finishing second with 580 points, just behind Lionel Messi's 613. In 2020, despite being a top contender, he missed out on the award due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

With both Lewandowski and Flick now at FC Barcelona, it will be interesting to see if Lewandowski can finally claim the Ballon d'Or under a manager who can help always bring out his full potential.
