Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri has won the men's Ballon d'Or - awarded to the best footballer of the year - for the first time.
The 28-year-old, who lost just one game last season for club and country, was awarded the prize in Paris after helping Spain win Euro 2024 in July.
He also won the Premier League, Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup with City.
Rodri is the first player in the club's history to win the Ballon d'Or.
Real Madrid won the award for club of the year and their manager Carlo Ancelotti was the winner of the men's coach of the year award, but there was no-one from the club present to receive the prizes.
It was reported earlier on Monday that Real Madrid were boycotting the ceremony after reports their forward Vinicius Jr would not win the Ballon d'Or.
