00:00Manchester City were well represented last night, but Real Madrid obviously had the second and third in the list, but they weren't represented

00:08What do you think about that? It seems slightly

00:10odd in a team sport that you don't like.

00:13Nothing to say. If they want to go, it's fine.

00:17They don't want to go, it's fine as well. So they want to congratulate, it's fine. They don't want to do it, it's fine as well.

00:23So absolutely Manchester City, we are not here to judge what the other clubs decide what they have to do.

00:30I

00:32would say for us, even last season for example, that Erling won the treble, more than 50 goals, and

00:41I said to him, just being there is, you have to be so, so happy.

00:46I remember when three players from the academy, from Barcelona, La Masia,

00:49we were nominated all three, you know, to win the Ballon d'Or, and Xavi and Iniesta could not win because he was a monster there.

00:56And Messi, nobody could beat him. Just Cristiano, you know, Cristiano was a monster, and the father of the monster is Messi.

01:02And both, you know, have done something incredible in the last

01:0720 years, I would say 50-20 years, and maybe in that moment Xavi and Iniesta deserve it as well.

01:12Do you understand people that feel that Vinicius should have won that? Yeah, of course.

01:17Of course he deserved it. Maybe if he should have won, he would be more than well deserved.
