Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski of Poland retained the title of best Fifa player of the year on Monday at “The Best” 2021 ceremony, partially erasing his disappointment at having been doubled by Lionel Messi for the Ballon d’Or. The 33-year-old center-forward won the trophy for the second time after 2020, at the end of a prosperous year on a personal level, winning ahead of the two other finalists: the Argentinian Messi (Paris SG, ex -FC Barcelona), crowned seven times Ballon d’Or at the end of November, and the Egyptian Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). Among the women, it was the Spaniard Alexia Putellas, captain of FC Barcelona, who won the title of best Fifa player of the year, signing the double after her Ballon d’Or received in November.
