Lewandowski could not be denied the title back-to-back, following a record-breaking 2020-21 Bundesliga campaign with Bayern München.
The Bavarians won their 30th Bundesliga title and their ninth in a row, where he scored 41 goals to break Germany and Bayern legend Gerd Müller’s long-standing scoring record of 40 goals in a single season.
The Poland striker is the reigning Fifa Best Men’s Player, an award he won in 2020 after Bayern did a clean sweep of all domestic (Bundesliga and German Cup), continental (champions League) and global (Club World Cup) trophies.
“An achievement of the century – maybe for the ages.”
