admin The prestigious FIFA award this time has been awarded to the footballer Robert Lewandowski which was also the highest personal award that he had ever won in this entire career.
In order to bag this award, Robert beat the popular players Messi and Ronaldo who were in this race as well proving that with passion and talent one can reach new heights.
Robert is the captain of the Poland team and this award seems very well deserved after his 55-goal spell this season. The top three that were shortlisted for this award were Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert himself.
The procedure went through with the help of votes that were collected from a jury put together of the national team captains, coaches as well as select journalists and some lucky fans.
This year given the situation of the pandemic the FIFA awards were hosted virtually through an online conference. However, the president Gianni Infantino went to Munich in order to bestow Robert with this honour in-person.
Robert is only the second person after Luka Modric to achieve this triumph in a total span of thirteen years, thereby, denying the most renowned names in football Ronaldo and Messi this prestigious honour.
The best woman’s player in football was bagged by Lucy Bronze who is a player from England and recently joined the Manchester City after her glorious victory at the Champion’s League with Lyon.
Robert is a Bayern player and the last time a Bayern player won was in the year 1991. Moreover. Robert is the first men’s player to have won outside the Spain club since Ronaldo won the same award in the year 2008 as a Manchester United player. Therefore, this victory has been record-breaking on several grounds.
For the FIFA best coach award in the male section, Jurgen Kloop won this honour for the second year in a row, and the primary reason for him to win this award is his contributions towards making Liverpool a champion after 30 years in England. In the woman’s category, this award was bestowed upon Sarina Weigman who is the coach for Netherlands and had a very substantial role in their victory in the 2019 World Cup Final.
