Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich's record-setting striker, retained FIFA's top men's player title Monday at "The Best" of 2021 ceremony, partially erasing his disappointment at losing the Ballon d'Or to Lionel Messi.

The 33-year-old Polish striker, who set a Bundesliga goal record last season, won the trophy for the second time, edging Argentine Messi of Paris Saint-Germain and Egyptian Mohamed Salah of Liverpool.

Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas completed an awards double when she followed her Ballon d'Or victory in November by being named FIFA's best female player of 2021 on Monday.

The 27-year-old midfielder enjoyed an exceptional 2020-2021 season with Barcelona when she led the Catalans to the Spanish league and cup double as well as the Champions League.

Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo was presented with FIFA's Special award after becoming the all-time top scorer in men's international football.
