Berlin, Dec 16 (AFP/APP): Robert Lewandowski is confident of being named FIFA’s best male footballer on Thursday on the strength of his 55-goal haul to help Bayern Munich win the treble last season.
The Poland striker, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo are shortlisted in the men’s category for FIFA’s ‘The Best’ awards. “We were the best, there’s no doubt about that,” Lewandowski said on Wednesday ahead of the online ceremony at FIFA headquarters in Zurich.
After a season “when you’ve scored a lot of goals and won everything, I don’t think there’s anyone I can compare myself to,” the 32-year-old added confidently.
His goals helped Bayern lift the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League trophies in 2019/20 as top-scorer in all three competitions.
Lewandowski has already been named the footballer of the year for Germany and Europe.
Croatia’s Luka Modric voted ‘The Best’ FIFA men’s footballer in 2018, is the only player to have broken Ronaldo and Messi’s domination since 2008. Ronaldo has been voted player of the year five times, one less than Messi.
