"Many thanks to my teammates, family, Flamengo, the Brazilian national team, Real Madrid. I wish you a happy 2025."

"My idol is Cristiano. It's an honour to have heard those words. If Cristiano says it, I believe it."

Young talents: "I like being compared to me, in the way I shoot, in the way I play. Bellingham, Lamine, Vinicius... who deserved to have won the Ballon d'Or. He won the Champions League and the performance he had in the final. That's why I believe more in these awards"

"It's a pleasure to be here. It's very different from the others. It's a pleasure to be at this gala. It means a lot. Many generations. This motivates me to keep scoring goals and be better. Thanks to my family for supporting me all the time to keep playing. I'm going to continue because I want to keep scoring goals and win things for my club and my national team.

Little to add here. The talented young Spaniard is destined to be one of the best players on the planet. Key at the European Championship in Spain and key with Barcelona.

"I know I'm at the best club in the world. I'm looking to win more. It's important to continue with this generation for many more years."

Real Madrid's status: "It's a very long season. We have time to recover and I'm sure we will."

The English midfielder has established himself as one of the best players in the world today.

"Thank you all for inviting me. Thank you to my staff, my colleagues and my mother, who is one of the greatest motivations in my life."

The Brazilian winger was the best player in the Champions League and one of the most important figures for Real Madrid this season, if not the most.

"I am very happy to receive this award alongside many greats . It has taken me a lot of work to get here and I thank everyone who has been by my side. I represent many children who grew up playing in the street and it has helped me a lot to get to where I am today."

"I'm very happy to receive this award. It was a very difficult year for me and I want to get back to 100%."

"I want to thank Globe Soccer, my wife, my children, my teammates... Last year was very challenging for me because of the injury, but there is still Courtois to give."

"Thank you very much for the award. It is an honour to be here with you. Retired players are not used to receiving this type of award and I repeat it again. Thank you very much."

Legend of the England national team and Manchester United.

There will be a short break in the awards. In a few moments, the following awards will continue. What do you think so far? Any surprises? Real Madrid have dominated so far, having taken home three awards.

"Once again, it's an honour to be here. I want to thank my players and coaches. I have the best team possible. I also want to thank my children and wife because without them I wouldn't be here."

The agent of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho and Joao Felix, among others, takes home the award for another year.

This is non-stop. As you can see, it's going pretty smoothly. It's the best agent's turn.

The Italian coach, who is the main architect of what Real Madrid has achieved this year.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be there tonight. I'd like to thank the players, the club and to be able to fight and continue with the same streak this year," said Carlo Ancelotti through a video of thanks.

"It is an honour to be at the head of the biggest sporting institution in the world and I am working to ensure that it is in the place it deserves. I would also like to thank Real Madrid. This year will be remembered for the fifteenth Champions League, but also for the five titles won. I would like to congratulate the players and everyone involved in Real Madrid," said the president of the club in a video of thanks.

"There are no secrets. You have to work hard. You have to adapt to changes and stay loyal to the club's values," said José Ángel Sánchez.

And the winner is... REAL MADRID! The 15-time Champions League winners take home the award. Their five titles this season are to blame. José Ángel Sánchez goes up to receive it.

We move on to the best international club in 2024. Place your bets...

"It's an honour to be here. I'm always happy to be here. Thanks to my team, without them it wouldn't be possible. I'd like to be league champions this year because I've won every league I've been in."

Finally, the award for the best player in the Middle East will be presented before the international awards.

It's time for the award for the best club in the Middle East.

The Al-Hilal coach achieved a record by winning 34 matches in a row.

This seems to be going in the same rhythm as the 'The Best' awards. They go pretty fast.

"I'm still a Juve fan. It's unique. The connection with the fans, with the people at the club... I have a lot of respect for them and we're still looking forward."

"It is an honour to receive this award. I am very happy."

The ceremony began with Alessandro Del Piero collecting his award in recognition of the Italian footballer's brilliant career . He is more than deservedly honoured.

"The Premier League is the most difficult league. The problem is not the coaches. It's a deeper problem at Manchester United. The sun will rise again, I'm sure."

"Football has become much more physical. There is a huge overload. The question of how to remedy the frequency of injuries is still being addressed."

"I will never be a coach. Maybe I will own a club. I think clubs should take better care of young players so they can get results. Modern football is more intense. Players like Lamine Yamal, at 17, are already world-class figures. We didn't see that before."

"Jude has gone from being the best new player last year to being one of the best players in the world and being able to receive the award today. It's incredible how Jude's life has changed in just one year"

"My life was different. I started when I was 17. At 15/16, I knew that football was going to be my passion."

Watch out because Thibaut Courtois and Cristiano Ronaldo are already coming out on stage for a pre-gala conference.

"We have many candidates tonight. Let's hope it's a great night for Real Madrid fans."
