Bayern Munich striker, Robert Lewandowski, has been named FIFA Best Men’s Player of 2021.

Lewandowski won the prize ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi and Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah, at an event held on Monday night in Zurich, Switzerland.

He added four trophies to his collection of silverware.

After Bayern’s 1-0 victory in the final, Lewandowski was named Player of the Tournament, finishing ahead of Tigres’ André-Pierre Gignac and Joshua Kimmich.

The Poland international, however, finished second position behind Messi in the 2021 Ballon d’ Or.
