Robert Lewandowski Has Been Named FIFA’s Footballer Of The Year in 2020, Behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski was the top scorer in every competition he took part in last season.  The list includes Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, UEFA Champions League.  He has become the champion in the jersey of Bayern in all these three competitions.  Won the UEFA Super Cup, German Super Cup.  He is the top scorer for the third time in a row in the Bundesliga.  He is the top scorer for the fourth time in a row in the DFB Cup.  He has also become the best footballer of the year in Germany.  UEFA men have also become the best footballers.




Messi and Ronaldo have been sharing this award for the last one decade.  The duo also won the Ballad d’Or.  The only exception was in 2016, when Luka Madrich won the title of best player.  This time Lewandowski attacked the Messi-Ronaldo empire.  He surpassed the rest due to his great performance for Bayern.



Messi has been the top scorer for the seventh time in a row in La Liga. Which is the record. The last time runners-up in La Liga was his team Barcelona. He has scored 700 goals in his career. He has 21 assists in one season. No Argentine has been named Lorius Athlete of the Year before. No footballer has received this honor before Messi.

“This really is something – Messi and Ronaldo have been playing at the highest level for years and now I’m rubbing shoulders with them.”
