Furthermore, Jurgen Klopp has been named FIFA’s Best Male Coach for the second year in a row.
Quoted by BBC SportSon said it was an “incredible feeling” to win the award:
“Good good! It was so nice, when I received the ball, I tried to pass, I received it in my own box, I couldn’t find any option and I started dribbling, and after two seconds I was in front of the goal, it was a surprise, a goal so beautiful.
“They (my teammates) should give me more options… I’m kidding! I had a great career, a great goal, so I am also grateful to my teammates.
“After scoring, I didn’t realize it was so amazing. After the game, I watched him again and thought ‘wow, this is something special’.
“During the game you concentrate, then I was so surprised to be so far away, so many people around me. It was an incredible feeling. “
