Lewandow was interviewed by the Times and talked about the topic of missing the Golden Globes. The following are excerpts from the article.

Lewandow won the FIFA Best Player twice (2020, 2021), but never won the Golden Globe Award. In 2020, the selection was cancelled due to the epidemic. In the same year, he helped Bayern win the triple championship with 55 goals in 47 games. "I won everything outside of the Golden Ball," he said, "I believe that I could have won the award, but it can't be changed. Even with this trophy, I wouldn't be a different player or person. Football involves a lot of factors, sometimes politics - I understand the rules. I won't say 'I don't want it anymore, but I don't dream about it anymore. I won't lose sleep because I want the Golden Ball. "
