There is nothing that is worth more in football than the goal. Occasionally, the transfer of a defender or a midfielder equates to that of a great striker, but generally the signings of great scorers tend to be the ones that cost the most. Goals give titles and titles facilitate individual awards. That is why For AS.com Internet users, Lewandowski (Champions League and Bundesliga top scorer), Messi (LaLiga top scorer) and Benzema (LaLiga champion top scorer) have been the three best footballers of the past season in the World Football Summit and AS Player of the Year voting, which is awarded in 2020 for the first time.
Lewandowski is the big favorite to win the award and has won 36% of the votes. Far behind is Messi, who received 15% of the support of those surveyed and Benzema, who obtained 11%. The rest of the vote was distributed in a minority among the rest of the finalists, (Cristiano, Mbappé, Kimmich, Courtois, Davies, De Bruyne, Neymar, Neuer, Ocampos, Van Dijk, Mané and Inmobile). None reached 10% of the support.
Internet users on As.com have also valued the scoring ability in women's football. Pernille Harder, from Wolfsburg, was Europe's top scorer last year (38 goals) and is one of the three most voted players along with Jenni Hermoso, top scorer in the Iberdrola League with Barcelona, and her teammate Alexia Putellas, the only midfielder among the most voted Player and Player of the Year.
In this category, the Spanish players are the favorites for the public. Hermoso took 22% of the votes and Putellas followed closely with 19%. Harder, the third in contention, has barely had 9% of the support of the voters.
The vote of the Internet users has a value of 25%, while that of the jury will do it 75%.
