While
Robert
Lewandowski
and
Alexia
Putellas,
who
won
the
women’s
Ballon
d’Or
last
year,
took
home
the
prizes
for
Best
Men’s
and
Women’s
player
respectively,
the
Blues
had
winners
in
the
form
of
Thomas
Tuchel,
Emma
Hayes
and
Edouard
Mendy.
Tuchel,
who
guided
Chelsea
to
Champions
League
success
last
season,
scooped
the
Best
Men’s
Coach
award,
while
Hayes
was
named
Best
Women’s
Coach.
Hayes’ team
won
the
Women’s
FA
Cup
and
Premier
League
in
2020-21,
while
also
finishing
as
runners-up
in
the
Women’s
Champions
League
to
Barcelona,
who
Putellas
plays
for.
Mendy,
meanwhile,
won
the
Best
Men’s
Goalkeeper
award.
However,
he
did
not
make
the
Men’s
XI,
with
Italy
and
Paris
Saint-Germain
shot-stopper
Gianluigi
Donnarumma
preferred.
Tuchel’s
triumph
also
means
that
a
German
coach
has
won
the
Men’s
award
for
the
last
three
years,
after
Jurgen
Klopp
in
2020
and
2019.
The
Denmark
national
team
won
the
Fair
Play
Award
for
their
actions
in
helping
to
save
Christian
Eriksen’s
life
after
the
midfielder
collapsed
on
the
pitch
in
Copenhagen
at
Euro
2020.
Erik
Lamela
won
the
Puskas
Award
for
his
incredible
rabona
finish
in
the
north
London
derby.
Cristiano
Ronaldo,
meanwhile,
was
given
a
Special
Award
for
his
career
achievements.
