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 European clubs and national teams.[1]
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.[2]
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.[3]
