Robert Lewandowski spent Saturday evening at the Marienplatz to celebrate Bayern Munich's fifth successive Bundesliga triumph. But the 28-year-old, who netted 30 goals last term, had another honor still to come.

It's official: he has been named the 2016-17 Bundesliga Player of the Season, voted for by DW users.

Lewandowski, a six-time Polish Footballer of the Year, claimed more than 40 percent of the vote on Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook user MD Shahin Alam from Dhaka, Bangladesh is the lucky winner of a Bundesliga shirt of their choice.

Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Bundesliga's leading marksman with 31 goals, took 36 percent of the vote in second place. RB Leipzig's Timo Werner (21 goals) received a 13 percent share in third. And Anthony Modeste of Cologne (25 goals) won nine percent of the vote in fourth.
