The English forward also made sure to mention Vincent Kompany, wishing him well, as, he said, Kompany was still in the hospital. “I hope he’s doing well, and I hope this award gave him a little energy,” he noted.
He also made a special mention of Tottenham, acknowledging its contribution to his journey to the top of world soccer.
“I want to thank Tottenham. I certainly wouldn’t be here without them. I’ve been there since I was 11. All the guidance and training I received allowed me to live my dream. All the good and difficult moments along this journey have led me here today,” said the new Ballon d’Or winner.
