Real Madrid won the award for club of the year and their manager Carlo Ancelotti was the winner of the men’s coach of the year award, but there was no-one from the club present to receive the prizes.

It was reported earlier on Monday that Real Madrid were boycotting the ceremony after reports Vinicius would not win the Ballon d’Or.

Rodri, who appeared on stage on crutches after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in September said: “A very special day for me, my family and my country.”
