Lionel Messi said;
“Ten Years ago I received my first Ballon dor here in Paris, I came with my 3 brothers. Today I receive the 6th at a very special moment in my personal life. I never stopped dreaming, to continue to grow and improve. I hope I have more years to enjoy, although I am aware of how old I am, everything happens very quickly and I know that the moment of withdrawal (retirement) is approaching.”

Van Dijk had this to say;
“I had a great season, but sometimes you come up against players like him [Messi], who are a bit unnatural. Six Ballon d’Ors, gotta respect greatness. I was close, but I lost out to someone better.”

Drogba said;
“10 years ago after Chelsea vs Barça, a child came to me to take a picture, I said no bcos of the disgraceful refereeing. I learned that the child was Kylian Mbappé. I want to pay my debt now.”
