UEFA named Manchester City midfielder Rodri as the official Player of the Match after his goal won Saturday's Champions League final against Inter Milan.
Rodri's name was read out over the speaker system at Istanbul's Ataturk Olympic Stadium following City's 1-0 win over the Italian side.
In addition to his goal, the 26-year-old made three interceptions - more than any other player on the pitch - and was on target with 92.4% of his 66 passes.
Rodri made more key passes, two, than any of his teammates on Saturday.
But he was not the only player who could have been chosen as the MVP.
City keeper Ederson was another strong candidate after making five saves.
Ruben Dias played a critical role in preserving Ederson's clean sheet.
Dias made five clearances, including one from right in front of the goal-line after Ederson had pulled off a fine stop to deny Romelu Lukaku.
Meanwhile, John Stones produced a dynamic performance in his hybrid midfield-defense role.
Stones completed six successful dribbles - the joint-most by any player in a Champions League final since Lionel Messi (10) in 2015.
