Polish striker Robert Lewandowski won the FIFA accolade for Best Men’s Player as the 32-year-old frontman beat Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2020 vote for the award.
The prolific Lewandowski was rewarded for a remarkable 2019/20 season when he struck 55 goals in just 47 appearances for Bayern as the German giants won the Bundesliga title, the German Cup, and the UEFA Champions League.
Lewandowski beat last year’s winner Messi to the top FIFA award, as well as Portugal and Juventus icon Ronaldo, who had won the 2016 and 2017 editions of the prize.
Lewandowski’s FIFA accolade will go some way to making up for him missing out on the 2020 Ballon d’Or, which he had also been widely tipped to win before the award was scrapped this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
