Rhodri dedicated the "Golden Ball" won by Spanish football and midfielders.
"Today's victory is not for me, but for Spanish football. So many footballers deserved this award but didn't win: Iniesta, Xavi, Iker [Casillas], Busquets and others.
This is for Spanish football and midfielders. Many friends told me today that football won because of so many influential midfielders. They work calmly, and today they appeared in the light," said the midfielder of "Manchester City" and the Spanish national team.
