Lewandowski finally fulfill his dream of landing the Champions League trophy and FIFA world footballer of the year prize
The Polish has never given up himself on achieving his dream. Lewandowski has always dreamed of winning two high prizes in his career – the Champions League and the world footballer prize.
If not that the Ballon D’or won’t be held this year, the Polish would have taken it home as well due to his impressive stats which Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t match last season.
Even currently, he is still in the front line to get another laurel, having laid his hands on two already.
With 20 goals so far in 18 games played by him so far, consistency will be key for the 32-year-old to continue breaking the duopoly of Ronaldo and Messi.
Football fans can’t wait to see who will win the bragging rights as the race now becomes three-man horse race.
But the stage belongs to Lewandowski now, having worked hard to achieve this. From all of us at Futballnews, we say congratulations to Lewandowski as he bids to win another one this season.
