The 2020 edition of Best FIFA Awards crowned Robert Lewandowski player of the year. The Polish forward was chosen by the coaches and captains of the national teams, together with journalists and fans, who with their votes pointed to the Bayern Munich forward as worthy heir of Leo Messi: winner of the 2019 edition. And the Argentine player’s choices have intrigued and made fans all over the world speak.
The captain of the National Team, who finished third with 35 points, went against the current voting for Neymar, Mbappé and Lewandowski himself and leaving the historic rival Cristiano Ronaldo out of his preferences: ahead of him in the final ranking by only 3 points. The small ‘rudeness’, which came a few days after the Camp Nou game against Juventus, made the most mischievous and disappointed Portuguese champion smile, who in his elections had recognized Messi’s greatness instead, putting him between Lewandowski and Mbappé.
Lewandowski’s happiness
Between the two fights to enjoy is obviously Robert Lewandowski. The 32-year-old from Warsaw, who probably would have also won the Ballon d’Or had the award not been canceled by the pandemic, was the absolute protagonist of the gala night of the Best FIFA Awards in Zurich: “This recognition is something fantastic, it rewards my effort and it means that I have achieved my goals – declared the player on the sidelines of the ceremony – I am very happy and I thank those who voted for me. It will be difficult to sleep tonight. I am a person who does not care how many titles I win, I just can not get enough. Ever since I play soccer, I always think of my neighbor. There are always goals to achieve, like becoming an even stronger player and winning this title again.“.
