Even former boxing world champion Amir Khan, 34, was a guest alongside his wife Faryal Makhdoom, 29.

A statement read: “Robert Lewandowski was named Player of the Year 2020 at last night’s Dubai Globe Soccer Awards, thanks to a combination of votes from fans all over the world and votes from the Dubai Globe Soccer Jury.

“Lewandowski has had an exceptional season, being a top scorer of the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup and stacking up victories for his club, Bayern Munich.”

But Ronaldo did pip long-time rival Lionel Messi, 33, and Barcelona legend Ronaldinho as the Player of the Century.

After winning the award, he said: “For 20 consecutive years I have played and scored as a professional, I didn’t know there was another record to beat.

“It’s a pleasure to hear about the records, I have achieved all this but without my team-mates, without a great team, I would not have achieved these records.”

Ronaldo, who wants to play at the highest level until he is 40, revealed he has no plans of slowing down.

He said: “It is an exceptional achievement. It gives me the motivation to move forward.

“To be named the best is a great honour, I hope that this situation is over next year and that we can have more fun, thank you very much.

“I hope to still be able to play for more years. “
