Some surprise choices from the duo
Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski picked up FIFA’s The Best Men’s Player 2021 award on Monday after beating off competition from Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah.
The Poland international missed out on the Ballon d’Or to Messi but finished top of the pile this time around to retain the title he won last year.
Now the awards have been handed out it’s always interesting to see how players voted, and the decisions of Barca captain Sergio Busquets and Messi have been revealed.
Messi actually voted for his PSG team-mate Neymar in first place, Kylian Mbappe in second, and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema in third place.
