Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt says Holland teammate Virgil van Dijk deserves his individual success.
The Liverpool defender ultimately lost out to Barcelona star Lionel Messi for FIFA's The Best gong.
De Ligt told TMW: "It is a great honour to be here.
"I was fortunate to have played with both Van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo, but frankly I can't choose between the two."
While De Ligt attended the awards last night, Ronaldo stayed at home.
