Zurich: Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer said he prefers team achievements over individual awards. FIFA's official website quoted Neuer as saying, "You can't compare individual awards with winning titles with the team. For me, team achievements are more important because you can celebrate them with the whole squad. He further added that I'll be sleeping at home tonight but when you celebrate with the team, it's something special because you get to revel in everything that you've worked for over the past year."
Meanwhile, Neuer's teammate Robert Lewandowski was named the Best FIFA Men's Player for the first time in his career. Lucy Bronze won the Best FIFA Women's Player Award after rounding off an impeccable spell with Olympique Lyonnais in style before returning to England to play for Manchester City WFC. Jurgen Klopp also wom the Best FIFA Men's Coach Award for the second consecutive year, having steered Liverpool FC to the English Premier League title for the first time, 30 years after their last top-flight success.
