In fourth place, was Robert Lewandowski with 4.17% of the vote; beating out the likes of Luis Suarez, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Aguero, Eden Hazard, Thomas Mueller, Manuel Neuer and a host of other prestigious names. Lewandowski capped a brilliant year, after leading this Euro 2016 qualifier goals for his country Poland and having some of the most stellar performances in Europe, such as scoring five goals against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga in less than 10 minutes.
