Manchester City have clinched the best men's team award at the Ballon d'Or following their treble winning season, according to Daily Mail.

Accepting the award, the club's CEO, Ferran Soriano, said: 'We are very proud. Every body at Manchester City are very proud. We enjoyed a very good season. But this is not the product of one season.

'We are here because of these extraordinary players and our coaches and football director. But behind there is a lot of people working behind the scenes. And it's a decade of work.

On the evening, Bernardo Silva added: 'The five players in the top 10 [shows] a sign of the work that all of us together have been doing is great. We have the motivation to keep pushing ourselves to be better.'

It came just before Haaland claimed the Gerd Muller Trophy for Best Striker, with Gary Lineker presenting the Man City forward the award.

Barcelona women's team were recognised as the women's team-of-the-year, with president Joan Laporta receiving the award on behalf of the club alongside midfielder Patricia Guijarro.

It came after an exceptional season where the women's side won their second Champions League title in the space of three years, having also clinched their fourth successive Liga F title too.

Jonatan Giráldez's side have enjoyed a truly dominant few years in their domestic league, winning 62 league games on the bounce, a run which started June 6, 2021.
