World footballer election: FIFA gala now in the live ticker – Lewandowski, Messi or Salah?

Update from January 17, 6:36 p.m .:

Do you remember the election for world coach last year?

The FCB coach at the time, Hansi Flick, was actually considered the clear favorite, as he scored the treble with FC Bayern.

But in the end Jürgen Klopp took the trophy home.

How will it be this year?

Hansi Flick is not up for election, nor is the Liverpool coach.

This time, however, Thomas Tuchel is the most promising candidate.

He won the Champions League with Chelsea.

So we're excited to see how it turns out.

Of course, FC Bayern are also keeping their fingers crossed tonight for Manuel Neuer and Robert Lewandowski.

A total of eleven prizes are awarded by FIFA at “The Best FIFA Football Awards”.

Among other things, Manuel Neuer is again up for election as world goalkeeper.

In addition, Robert Lewandowski could again be recognized as a world footballer.

However: For all prices, it is not the services in the calendar year 2021 that are decisive, but the period from October 8, 2020 to August 7, 2021.

World footballer election: FIFA gala in the live ticker – great excitement about Müller and Lewandowski 

Munich/Zurich - Now FIFA can vote again!

The world footballer will be honored in Zurich on Monday.

Will he be called Robert Lewandowski* again or will Lionel Messi crash in between, as he did at the Ballon d'Or gala?

In view of the fact that the Pole in the FC Bayern jersey continues to bomb unhindered, there really shouldn't be any other winner.

However, teammate Thomas Müller of all people has his doubts about Lewy being crowned world footballer again.

"We always only have the perspective from Germany because we deal with the Bundesliga," said the 32-year-old scorer king of Munich, but Lewandowski has "positioned himself well" over the past few months. 

FCB captain Manuel Neuer sees it differently.

"He has the blessing of us players that he wins," said the national goalkeeper, who has been nominated for the world goalkeeper election.

Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann said of Lewandowski: "Hopefully he wins the title he deserves."
