I am very honored to win this trophy, I feel proud and happy. Of course, it also belongs to all my teammates and coaches, because they all worked very hard to win the games and titles – said the Pole after receiving the award.
Lewandowski also talked about his marks last season, when he broke Gerd Müller’s Bundesliga goal record. The Bayern Munich legend, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, died in August 2021.
– Everything that happened last year, the Bundesliga record, I would never have dared to dream about. If you told me this a few years ago, I wouldn’t believe it. Unfortunately, Gerd is no longer with us. But I couldn’t have done any of this without him.
Robert Lewandowski finished the 2020/21 season (the one for the Fifa award) with 40 appearances for Bayern Munich, 48 goals, and nine assists. For the Polish national team, he had 16 games, 13 goals, and six assists. The number 9 won the Club World Cup, the Uefa Supercup, the German Supercup, and the German Championship.
