UEFA: Robert Lewandowski wins men's Player of the Year
Pilne

Polish striker Lewandowski, 32, has been named UEFA Men's Player of the Year for 2019/20.


The award was announced during the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League group stage draw in Geneva. Lewandowski beat off competition from Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and Bayern Munich team-mate Manuel Neuer. 

The 2019/20 season was one of the greatest in Bayern's 120-year history, and no player contributed more to it than Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker scored in every game en route to the UEFA Champions League final in Lisbon, picking up 15 goals and six assists as well as the trophy he had coveted for so long. He also hit 34 goals in 31 Bundesliga matches and six in five German Cup games.

Player of the year voting was decided by the 80 coaches of the clubs in last season's European competitions, along with 55 journalists - one from each of UEFA members' association.
