<\/div>

It has been another truly eventful year in the world of football with some exhilarating performances and goals by some of the world’s best players.<\/p>\n

The Best FIFA Football Awards is a prestigious event in the football calendar and there are so many different categories to judge, which is an unenviable task for the panel of judges.<\/p>\n

Here at NetBet, you will have looked at our sports betting<\/a> pages and likely bet on some of these players and their teams, so without further delay, let us take a look at the big winners on the night!<\/p>\n

FIFA Best Men’s Player Award<\/h2>\n

Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has had a fantastic year in football and deservedly beat off the challenge of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to lift the FIFA Best Men’s Player Award.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old has been one of the most prolific strikers in the world for a number of years now and his form shows no sign of slowing down.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich have been the dominant team in Europe over the past two years and a big reason for that is the avalanche of goals struck by Lewandowski.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that the striker will look to keep up that sparkling form in front of goal to give Bayern another shot at a Champions League title. To be crowned FIFA player of the year and beat of the likes of Messi and Ronaldo is no mean feat.<\/p>\n

Usually, Lewandowski is a sure fire bet to score first and we have many features taking a look at the best games in the world so take a look at all the latest football betting news<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FIFA Best Women’s Player Award<\/h2>\n

Lucy Bronze matched her male counterpart by winning the women’s equivalent by producing a series of magnificent performances in defence for club and country.<\/p>\n

The England and Manchester City defender has won a series of admirers for her displays as she becomes the first player from England to win a FIFA Football Award.<\/p>\n

Bronze is in the peak of her career at the age of 29 and will surely be a huge part of the England squad for years to come.<\/p>\n

FIFA Best Men’s and Women’s Goalkeepers<\/h2>\n

Bayern Munich enjoyed more success at the FIFA Football Awards following Lewandowski’s gong as Manuel Neuer picked up the best goalkeeper award.<\/p>\n

Neuer beat off serious competition from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Atletico Madrid goalie Jan Oblak after a very impressive season, shipping just 31 goals in 33 games in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n

Lyon and France goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi won the women’s goalkeeper award after a stellar season for club and country.<\/p>\n

\"Jurgen<\/a><\/p>\n

FIFA Best Coach of the Year<\/h2>\n

Jurgen Klopp won this award for the second successive year after guiding Liverpool to the first league title for 30 years.<\/p>\n

This follows on from winning the Champions League the previous season and the German was magnanimous to his counterparts after getting the award.<\/p>\n

Bayern’s Hansi Flick and Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa were beaten into the runners-up spots by Klopp.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, he will be eyeing a third FIFA Football Award in a row, hoping for a Premier League and Champions League double with Liverpool.<\/p>\n

FIFA Puskas Award for Best Goal<\/h2>\n

Tottenham Hotspur’s dynamic attacker Heung-Min Son picked up this award for his stunning solo effort against Burnley in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Picking the ball up deep inside his own half, the South Korean beat off five challenges before calmly slotting past Nick Pope in the Burnley goal.<\/p>\n

Son is in the form of his career at Spurs so will look to add another wonder goal to his growing collection.<\/p>\n
