"Erling was very pleased that he claimed the win, he was close to Messi and Mbappe, as well as other players. It was a great evening for Manchester City. Huge respect for Leo Messi and Aitani Bonmaty.

Holland has his whole football career ahead of him, so he has to keep winning and say to himself: "Okay, maybe next season I can win." He probably has that goal, but he was very happy to attend the ceremony and he looked very good when he came back to the club," Guardiola was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
