“We’re in the fight year after year. I thank everyone here for this award. It’s also an award for my colleagues.

“2017 was an excellent and unforgettable year, both collectively and individually. It’s been an incredible and historic year for Real Madrid, with five trophies this year.

“I also won my fifth Ballon d’Or and second Best award. I dedicate it to my four children too. That’s another record, three children in three months!”
