Robert Lewandowski

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski was voted Germany's Footballer of the Year for the second year running on Sunday. The Pole, 32, was once again the runaway winner of the title awarded by the football magazine Kicker, following a vote by journalists.

Lewandowski, who equalled Gerd Mueller's 49-year-old scoring record in May as he netted his 41st Bundesliga goal of the season, received 356 of the 563 votes on offer. "I am aware of how big this honour is. It is a reason for great pride and joy for me, because it is rare to win the title of Footballer of the Year in Germany twice in a row," Lewandowski said.
