Matthäus: “Madrid have lost their personality without Ramos”

A legend of Bayern, of the German team that was world champion in 1990 and winner of the Ballon d’Or that same year. Lothar Matthäus has plenty of requirements to give an opinion with criteria (and favoritism) of the candidates for the award and more if a player of the Bavarian club like Robert Lewandowski is involved. The 60-year-old from Erlangen thinks the Polish striker deserves the award he gives France Football more than any other.

“I wish that [Lewandowski] I won the Ballon d’Or because last year you already deserved it. This year is closer, but it is my favorite. Benzema has had a great season, but has not won a title. They eliminated him early from the Eurocup with France and he has not been champion with Madrid in Spain“, explained in a statement issued by #Vamos in the Bundesliga preview of Bayern-Freiburg.

The paths of Bayern and Madrid not only intersect in the path of two of their stars in pursuit of the Ballon d’Or, but also in the struggle to get the services of Haaland. A player that both teams want. Matthäus sees the Norwegian as a successor to Lewy, but he does not get used to the idea of ​​seeing them sharing equipment. “Haaland may end up at Bayern after Lewandowski, but not alongside Lewandowski. This is a good story, but it wouldn’t work. Haaland and Mbappé would fit better at Real Madrid“, it states.

He also spoke about Madrid. “Real Madrid have lost their personality without Ramos. Alaba is a great player, but he doesn’t have that personality. He is not a leader like Ramos“, says Matthäus about the one who was a Bayern player until last season and who ended up at the white club this last summer with the freedom letter. Based on this argument, the German discards Ancelotti’s men as candidates for the Copa de Europe. “For me the favorites in the Champions are Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Bayern“Matthäus sentence.
