The footballer named the world’s best female player this week tells of her pride – and why the furore over the compere’s sexist remark ‘got out of hand’
Ada Hegerberg says she wants to be remembered as the first woman to win the Ballon d’Or, after the moment she collected the biggest individual prize in football was marred by the male compere of the awards ceremony asking her if she would like to twerk on stage.
“It got out of hand and I want the attention to be on the historic moment for the Ballon d’Or and what it meant for me,” says Hegerberg, 23.
