'Lewandowski may be a bit underestimated' - Goal 50 winner is not fully appreciated, claims Seedorf

The Bayern Munich striker has been named the world's best men's player, but the ex-Netherlands international still thinks he deserves more credit

Four-time Champions League winner Clarence Seedorf believes that some people may be underestimating Robert Lewandowski after the Bayern Munich striker was named as the winner of this year's Goal 50.

Lewandowski was named as the best men's player in the world after helping Bayern Munich win the treble in 2019-20, but Seedorf feels that many critics see the 32-year-old as simply a goalscorer.

The Poland international finished ahead of Kevin De Bruyne and Lionel Messi to be named the world's best, but despite competition from other players, Seedorf says Lewandowski was clearly the world's best in the past year.
