The Best named at FIFA football awards

Football’s annual celebration of its top performers entered a new era this Monday evening in Zurich, with the inaugural edition of The Best FIFA Football Awards™.

HISTORIC MOMENT FOR MALAYSIA

Mohd Faiz Subri reacts to winning the FIFA Puskás Award, the first Asian to win it.

"I feel very excited to be among all the top footballers and to be in Zurich among them and before the awards I was feeling very nervous and after getting it everything settled down. I really work hard in training, so I think it comes from that hard work. So fortunately I managed to score it. I scored goals like this but that’s the best goal in my career so far."

A CROWNED CRISTIANO
"I'd like to thank my team, national team, Real Madrid, my trainer, my family that came here, my son, my brothers. 2016 was the best year of my career, the trophy shows that people aren't blind and watch the games. With everything I won with my national team and club, with great individual performance, I can't forget this incredible year. Thanks for voting for me."

"I don't have much more to say, I think the awards speak for themselves. I'm not going to do the scream, just the motion."

A SEARCH FOR A SPEECH
FIFA Puskas Award winner Mohd Faiz Subri had to search through his phone to find his speech, but it was worth the wait.

Don't worry about it Faiz! For a goal like that, the least we can do is give you as much time on stage as you need!
