The Polish and Bayern Munich striker, 32, who enjoyed an historic treble-winning season with his club, winning the Champions League, the Bundesliga, and the German Cup in 2020, broke up Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's dominance.
In his acceptance speech, Lewandowski said: "If you win such an award and share that title with Messi and Ronaldo, that is unbelievable and it means so much to me.
"A long time ago, I remember I was longing for something like this and now I can win such and award.
"This really means, regardless of where you come form, all that matters is what you put into it."

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp wins men's coach Awards for second year in a row
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has been named the men's coach of the year at the FIFA Best Football Awards.
The 53-year-old German became the first to win the award twice, beating Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa and Bayern Munich's manager Hans-Dieter Flick.
Klopp first won the award last year following the Reds' Champions League triumph.
In his acceptance speech, Klopp gave credit to his coaching team, saying: "I have to thank these boys. What we did in the last few years was really special."
"I had no idea how it would feel and it felt absolutely overwhelming.
"I have so many people to thank and most of all my coaches. If I had known we'd won it my coaches would be here with me.
"What we did in the last year is all about these boys. We didn't dream 30 years but we dream already for a few years.
"It was absolutely exceptional and we all had a special year in an unfortunately not so positive way but for Liverpool fans at least we could make some highlights in a tricky period.
"I had no idea how it would feel and it felt absolutely overwhelming."
