Gerd Müller Trophy
The Gerd Müller Trophy, previously known as Striker of the Year or Best Striker Award in its first edition, is a football award presented annually by France Football to the highest-scoring footballer in the previous season, taking into account goals scored for both clubs and national teams. It was established in 2021, taking into account that calendar year (while, from the second edition, the award is based on the number of goals scored throughout a season). Starting with the second edition in 2022, the award was renamed after German striker Gerd Müller who died in August 2021. The inaugural winner was Polish striker Robert Lewandowski; he won the first edition in 2021 by scoring 64 goals over the year and then repeated a year later, having scored 57 goals in 56 appearances over the 2021–22 season.
