Rodri expressed his joy, stating, "Winning the Ballon d'Or is the realisation of a dream and a genuine honour for me. However, individual prizes are so often the result of strong team performances."
He emphasizes gratitude towards his teammates and the Manchester City support, saying, "I could not ask for more from them, both personally and professionally... my focus now is returning to full fitness and pulling on a City shirt again."
Txiki Begiristain commented, stating, "Rodri is our first-ever winner of this award, and he totally deserves that honour. He is a player completely without ego, whose performance level over a very long period of time has been exceptional."
