On Monday, FIFA organized The Best Award Ceremony in London, where Real Madrid workers were the main protagonist of the event. Up to seven ‘madridistas’ went on the stage to receive the prize or take a photo in one unforgettable evening for the club. The titles conquered in 2017 have the reward of these individual prizes that enhance the power of the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo won The Best player award of the year, whereas Zinedine Zidane was the best coach. Besides, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and Luka Modric were also in the ideal line-up of the year. Florentino Pérez was also present on the stage to share this moment with the players and the manager.
The president of Real Madrid admitted that this is one of the best times in the club history: “Zidane is setting an era as a coach. We’re living a golden age and we owe to him and to the players. He was born to be always at Real Madrid”, Pérez said in London. He also had some words to Cristiano Ronaldo: “He is simply the best. In this golden age of Real Madrid we owe him a lot”.
The Portuguese was the main protagonist of the event, winning again The Best award: “I want to thank, in the first place, my colleagues at Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team. It was an extraordinary year. It’s been 11 years coming up to pick up prizes for talent, hard work and commitment. My goal is winning collective trophies, but also individual ones”, Cristiano said.
Zinedine Zidane won the award for the first time because last year the trophy was given to Claudio Ranieri: “This is the best club in the world and we want to keep doing history”, the French coach said. He also highlighted the importance of Sergio Ramos: “Ramos knows he’s our captain and, at the end, he’s the most important player in the team”.
