We asked for your views on Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri winning the Ballon d'Or on Monday.

Here are some of your comments:

Ric: Rodri fully deserved this. A wonderful complete footballer. Magic for both Manchester City and Spain. This decision is a joy, not just because the winner is a great player but also because he does not elude to being anything other than a hard working, honest and nice man. Well done, sir.

John: This trophy has become a bit of a joke over the years. Last year, somehow it went to Messi when Rodri should have won it. This year it is rightly awarded to the most complete footballer at the moment. Enjoy it Rodri. As far as Real Madrid are concerned, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Lida: I totally agree with Rodri's award, but there was zero appreciation to his club and team-mates, who played a massive part in where he is now. I'm feeling let down.

Chris: This is from a Manchester United fan - Rodri's Ballon d'Or is well deserved. Extremely disrespectful of Real Madrid to boycott the ceremony just because one of their players didn't win. In fact, it is pathetic.
