The goal scoring machine was finally given the recognition he deserved for his exploits in the 2019/20 season for Bayern Munich. He scored 55 goals across all competitions as Bayern Munich completed the domestic double and won the Champions League and Super Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo finished second on the list with Lionel Messi third.
Lewandowski tops the three man shortlist
Robert Lewandowski made this shortlist for the first time in his career and is the first person to win the award apart from Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Last year Virgil Van Dijk put in the performance of his career as Liverpool, where they kept 21 clean sheets and conceded just 22 goals in the Premier League. Mind boggling numbers but he missed out on the award as Lionel Messi won the award for leading Barcelona to yet another La Liga.
Robert Lewandowski’s 55 goals meant that Bayern Munich won all domestic and international trophies available to win. As a result he was deservedly awarded the title of Best Men’s Player of 2020 with even Cristiano Ronaldo voting for him. He is the first Bayern Munich player to win the title since 1991 and is also the first player outside a Spanish club to win it.
The Best Women’s Player of 2020 was won by Lucy Bronze while Pernille Harder and Wendi Renard completed three person shortlist. Lucy Bronze won the Champions League with Lyon while Pernille Harder was runner-ups in the same final with Wolfsburg. Wendi Renard was a part of the Lyon squad which Bronze was a part of, before the latter joined Manchester City.
