Last month, Lewandowski, who plays for Barcelona and also captains Poland’s national squad scored 10 goals in five games: against Young Boys Bern, Deportivo Alaves, Sevilla, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Lewandowski wrote in a social media post: "I'm truly grateful for this recognition, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me - my family, friends, and fans - you motivate me to work harder every day."

"Let's keep making memories," he added.

Last week, the Polish goal machine scored a double as his Barcelona side beat Real Madrid 4-0 in the Spanish La Liga.

He found the back of the net in the 54th and 57th minutes of the game at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, cementing his lead as the division's top scorer this season.

Lewandowski in November took home the Spanish premier league's Pichichi top scorer award for the 2022/2023 season.

The award was presented after the Pole ended his first season with Barcelona in June last year, by winning the Spanish top flight's golden boot.

Lewandowski has previously won seven top scorer awards in the German Bundesliga, where he played for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern.

The Polish marksman in October 2022 won the Gerd Müller Trophy for the best striker of the 2021/2022 season at the France Football Ballon d'Or Awards in Paris.
