When it’s the first time, the emotion is always special. But
I I feel today like I did in 2008.
I have the opportunity to thank all of my team-mates, the
national team, Real Madrid, all of the people and players
who helped me to win this individual award.
As you can imagine I feel so proud and happy to receive
this amazing and beautiful ball, I am so happy.”
