The perfect fumble said:
From the BBC...

  1. 'Haaland is free to do what he wants' published at 13:04 GMT​

    Tottenham v Man City (Wed, 20:15 GMT)
    Manchester City
    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland going to Sweden to see a boyhood friend win the league title with Malmo:     "He and his girlfriend Isabelle will be parents soon, we only get a couple of days off.
    "He went [to the awards ceremony] last season. Sometimes you go, sometimes you don't. He's free to do what he wants. He doesn't have to explain the reason why. It's not a problem at all. He will be really happy for Rodri, I have no doubt of that."

  2. 'If Vinicius won the Ballon d'Or, it would have been more than deserved' published at 12:58 GMT​

    Tottenham v Man City (Wed, 20:15 GMT)
    Manchester City
    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Vinicius Jr not winning the Ballon d'Or    : "Of course, if [Vinicius] won, it would have been more than deserved.
    "It was the same with Erling [Haaland] last year when he didn't win. He was there and congratulated Leo [Messi], then you have to go and try again next season. It's really open and there will be more chances to win.
    "I congratulate Carlo Ancelotti for winning the best manager in the world, but it was [Gian Piero] Gasperini or Luis de la Fuente. Of course they deserved it, but people voted and Carlo also deserved it.
    "This event has to be a joy, people have to accept the results. As a club, we are so happy that Rodri is the first player in this club to win this award. It's like [winning] the Premier League and Champions League. We are so proud."

Amazing how genuine class influences what people say and do, isn’t it?

And how the lack of it leads to what we have seen from Real Madrid and Vini Jr, etc.
 
Utterly classless pricks Real Madrid, yet we already knew this.

Rodri is the best in the world, we knew this too.

Delighted for him, he so deserves it. I hope it gives him a massive boost in his recovery.

Been impressed with Dias in the last 24 hours too, showing his leadership. Traveled out there, his comms on social etc about Rodri has been spot on - concise, personal, clearly supported him back stage as per a few photos.

Dias has quietly been having a great season. In fact he has been superb since last Christmas. He goes under the radar.
 
Vinicius has five goals in 35 games for Brazil. Last season he got 15 league goals in Spain playing for the leading team. The season before he got ten league goals. He’s prolific on social media though. Is he just another media-manufactured player like Bellingham. He’s a good player no doubt but in terms of achievement Rodri is miles ahead for club and country.
