Hansi Flick, who managed Bayern last season but has now succeeded Jogi Low as German national team boss, said: “There was never any doubt that Lewy would win this award this year.”
Lewandowski’s Bayern colleague Thomas Muller scooped second, and third place went to Borussia Dortmund’s Norwegian striker Erling Haaland.
“I know how big an honour this is,” commented Lewandowski.
“It fills me with so much pride and joy because you don’t often get named Player of the Year twice in a row in Germany.”
