Julen Lopetegui's Pre-Match Presser:

“They're sure to be tough opposition, well organised, with better players than last season and they'll certainly make life difficult for us”.

“I have no doubt at all that the fans will get behind the team, just as they always have done."
Mariano Díaz

"Mariano is coming in means we're thrilled to have him here”.
Award-winning Luka Modrić

“I'm happy for Luka. He's our player and he's done more than enough to be worthy of this award"
Keylor Navas in the sticks

“I won't make a statement about who's number one, we'll assess the situation as we go”.

Cristiano Ronaldo cancelled his flight to Monaco at last minute after it was leaked to him that he had lost the award (to Modric).

Aleksander Ceferin (UEFA President): "We didn't tell, but you know how information leaks, It's possible that people know beforehand."

Ceferin: "For me it's very important to know one thing. Fifty-five journalists from 55 national associations voted and 80 coaches from (last season's) Europa League and Champions League voted. It's a vote ... it's a vote and they decided."

Marotta (CEO Juventus): "On our part, we're profoundly bitter at the decision to not award him this prize (UEFA player of the year). This prize isn't about the World Cup, it's about the Champions League, and so I think Ronaldo deserves it." [ESPN]
 
Note: UEFA's criteria says that "players are judged on all performances: domestic, continental and international."

Mariano Diaz who believes in himself and loves the crest on his shirt more than anything. He was doing great in Lyon but the second that we needed a striker, he took that shirt off and offered himself to us.

He’s not the best player in the world. He’s nowhere close for now. But rest assured, he will give his ALL when he’s donning the shirt and all the fans should support anyone who is ready to fight for our club.

He’s a very good striker and he’s all we’ve got for now. Remember what you promised yourself all those years ago, when you chose Real Madrid C.F.

Club above any player.

Hala Madrid till I die.
 
It's expected Modric will present the UEFA Player of the Year award to the Santiago Bernabeu today along side, Best Midfielder, Best Defender and Best Goalkeeper awards
