Lewy winning the Balon d' Or would be like Russel Crow winning the Oscar for Gladiator... more of a concession really.
Raph or Pedri. Everything else would be BS.

If Barca win the CL who would be fav for Balon dor isnt even set yet.
Would be between Pedri, Yamal and Raphinha and who did the most in CL latter stages with each staeg more important than the last.

They also give it to players based on prestige, I think this is openly written in the voting criteria.
So Lewa automatically will have a much better shot. Especially being almost 37 the voters will respect his season massively.
To be honest, despite all the hate for him here, we can't have expected more from Lewa himself given his age. What's he's brought to us is a lot more than we should have gotten and we're lucky for the fact he's still extremely prolific. His transfer could have gone much much worse.
I would be happy for him if he won the Ballon Dor with us. As written above by many the later CL stages will be important in deciding it, we still need to even see who will contribute or if we get there.

As usual, the winner will be the one who does better in the UCL KOs as a whole.
Taking last year's Madrid as an example, Jude had a stellar first half of the season with multiple goals+assists in the UCL group stage, he was candidate #1 going into the UCL KOs but his level dropped in the second half of the season especially those games while Vini had more impact overall with an amazing tie vs. Bayern + a goal in the final, the vibe shifted to Vini as candidate #1 despite him having a 0/10 Copa campaign.

Yes. Especially semis and finals.
My money on Raphinha. If Barca goes far, he’ll show up the most.

So far it's been Raphinha who has scored the more impactful goals in the CL for us, and that trend is likely to continue. If we make it far and even win the CL then he'll definitely be the favorite.
