Sarina Weigman dedicates her women’s coach of the year award to the Spanish team that won the World Cup and whose achievements were overshadowed by the Luis Rubiales controversy.

She said: “I’m very proud of the team and the staff, it’s very special what we’ve done and the FA is really supporting us to perform.

“I’m not interested in statistics, I’m just trying to improve with the team and we have a great staff and facilities, it’s an environment where everyone can grow.

“I played in the 1988 World Cup, but as a player I didn’t play there again. The growth of the game is just incredible and I love being a part of it.

“It really hurts me as a coach [the Luis Rubiales controversy] and mother of two daughters, the game has grown a lot but there is still a long way to go in society.

“I would like to dedicate this award to the Spanish team, this team deserves to be celebrated and listened to.”

In the least surprising announcement of the evening, the Men’s Player of the Year award goes to Manchester City and Norway’s Erling Haaland!

The UEFA Player of the Year award goes to Aitana Bonmatí of Spain and Barcelona!

Sarina Wiegman wins Women’s Coach of the Year!

It’s fully deserved after leading England to the European Championship trophy and the World Cup final.

Now it’s time for rewards.

The first is Men’s Coach of the Year and, unsurprisingly, Pep Guardiola receives the honor after Manchester City’s treble-winning season.

Brendan Rodgers will be rubbing his hands watching Group E.

Celtic, who were dumped out of the Champions League at the group stages last season, will feel they have a real chance of getting something out of matches against Feyenoord and Lazio.

Atletico Madrid could prove a stubborn opponent, however.

Manchester United would have been sweating when they were drawn alongside Bayern Munich in Group A. It could have turned into a tough group for them, but Erik ten Hag believes his men have the ability to overcome FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

Manchester City will go through Group G and Arsenal will think they can win Group B even if their matches will be a little tricky.

However, Newcastle United have by far the most exciting squad. Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan are all upcoming. These away days will be incredible for the fans.
