, I would not have been able to do this," said Flick at the beginning of his short acceptance speech.
"It was a crazy year, even with the lockdown, but we did well and adjusted to the things that were new."

asked about
his proudest moment as an

For
Lewandowski it
would be the next big individual award.
He was recently voted
Germany's Footballer of the Year
.
In addition, the Pole, who scored an outstanding 55 goals in 47 games in all competitions last season, is also hoping for the world footballer's choice.
In the premier class alone,
Lewy
scored 15 goals in 10 games,
narrowly missing
the record set by
Cristiano Ronaldo
(17).
When
FC Bayern won
the triple for the last time (2013),
Franck Ribéry was
named Europe's Footballer of the Year.
The choice of Europe's best coach * is meanwhile firmly in German hands.
Hansi Flick
(FC Bayern),
Julian Nagelsmann
(RB Leipzig) and
Jürgen Klopp
(FC Liverpool) make up the category among themselves - PSG coach
Thomas Tuchel
made it to fourth place.
