Lewandowski scored 55 goals in 47 matches in all competitions, including 15 in the Champions League.
Lewandowski beat the Belgian international, Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne, and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who reached him for the final list of candidates.
The arrival of the three players to the final list of candidates came after their achievements last season.
