FC Bayern Munich forward, Robert Lewandowski has been named IFFHS World’s Best Player of the year ahead of Lionel Messi and Jorginho.
According to the official voting numbers, Robert Lewandowski clinched the award by getting 150 votes. Lionel Messi was second with 105 points while Chelsea midfielder Jorginho was 110 points behind Lewandowski in third place.
The 33-year-old forward has now won the award back-to-back after winning last year despite the 2020 Ballon d’Or not taking place due to COVID-19 pandemic.
The Polish forward scored 48 goals in 40 appearances for the Bavarian giants last season and guided Bayern Munich to its 31st Bundesliga title in their history. Bayern also won the DFL-Supercup, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup last season.
Lewandowski will yet again be battling the likes of Jorginho and Lionel Messi for the 2021 Ballon d’Or as he is one of the favorites for the award alongside Lionel Messi.
