It's turning out to be a good night for La Liga players. A man of the match display in last season's Champions League final probably helped Thibaut Courtois pick up this one.
Chelsea’s Edouard Mendy finishes fourth, with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson in third and Liverpool number one Alisson in second.
And moving swiftly on to the Yashin trophy...
What a tease. Didier Droba points out that Erling Haaland has started this season "on fire" for Manchester City. And he asks Robert Lewandowski if he's confident of winning this award again.
"The season is very long I know it is a new chapter," Lewandowski says.
"From the first minute I see that with my team-mates we have big potential and I will have the opportunity to score a lot of goals."
Robert Lewandowski: "I am very happy to be and glad and proud not only to win but because also of the name of this trophy. Gerd was a huge inspiration.
"Before the season I wanted to be closer to him and I always wanted to break some of his records. It was always a huge challenge.
"It was very emotional to score 41 goals in Bundesliga because I did not think it was possible to break this record. Everything I did was for him. I want to say thank you to my ex team-mates of Bayern Munich because I know how hard they have to work."
Robert Lewandowski only scored the 57 goals last season, with 50 of those coming in 46 games for Bayern Munich.
He wins the best striker award for he second season in a row.
Lewandowski picked it up when it was presented for the first time after breaking the Bundesliga scoring record for a single season, previously held by German great Gerd Muller, with 41 goals.
Now time for the Gerd Muller Trophy, which is the best striker award....
How much would this trio go for in the modern game?
I reckon £400-500m for the three? Hit the thumbs up if you agree.

Barcelona's Alexia Putellas has now won this award in consecutive years.
She has a huge smile on her face as she collects the trophy and says, "without my team-mates this would not have been possible. I want to thank the staff and the coach and everyone involved at Barcelona.
"I'm very happy to be back here and pleased because a year ago I was able to win this prize and it pushed me to want to be even better."
Putellas was the top scorer as Barca reached the Women's Champions League final but is currently recovering from a serious knee injury.

We quickly jump to the Socrates Award which will be presented by former Brazil and Paris St-Germain midfielder Rai, his younger brother [Socrates that is].

To mark Gavi's success we are treated to a lovely little video of him flicking the ball over his head, backheeling the ball and skipping away from the odd defender to score.
Not a bad little show reel.
"I try and give the best of myself the whole time and try to apply myself in the best way," he says.
Pedri now steps up to add: "It is a very proud thing to see [Gavi win]. We spend a lot of time together and I hope we are playing together for many years to come."
