Turns out it was Martin Solveig and he's come out with some weak ass apology

He has even been saying it is just a joke. The bloke needs to go on a course as he hasn't a clue what he's done wrong.

[Machado]

Hey I can't hate the guy who made the song "Hello". Lots of good memories with that tune back in the days.

[...Dan]

Fucking hell.

[Cicero]

Ronaldo would of said yes

[JoshBRFC+]

Did she not twerk? 

[Mel81x+]

Poor Kylian was anticipating something too.

[Dave]

She handled it very well to be fair. A PR nightmare for Martin Solveig and I think he knows it.

I think he looks quite shocked that he's asked her. Stunned. 

[Tommy]

Oh my. What an idiot  In the apology video he said it had something to do with his English level? But he asked her in French?

I think she handled it quite well tbh. Could have been much worse had she actually mouthed off to him on stage. Weird turn of events.

Why did FIFA think having a DJ present this award for the first ever time was a great idea anyway?

[Smiley Culture]

Did Luka Modric do a helicopter?

Makes me feel sick to see someone have such an enormous moment ruined because of some ratty little wanker thinking he's funny.

She could easily batter him, too. I'd love to see it.

They're the Kanye and Taylor Swift of football now. 

[CaaC (John)+]

Oh well, we might as well give the ladies a mention, the female Messi/Ronaldo, cough, cough.

They've got their own thread mate.

Great joke, really appropriate. She felt embarrassed and he looked like a tool. I don't watch or rate women football but no need to make a mockery of it.

[Toinho]

What a wanker

Exactly. Nobody is demanding that people be fans of women's football, but nobody can look at scenes like that and deny that there is a desperate lack of respect for it.

Whatever our opinions are, a person who has devoted their life to reaching the peak of their field was given one moment of recognition on the world stage, and the host couldn't even restrain himself from making a humiliating, asinine joke for that brief time.

There's something wrong.

[RandoEFC+]

Ridiculous attempt at banter from an absolute bellend. What does Martin Solveig have to do with football that he's awarding the Ballon D'Or? Did they get some bad celebrity to award the men's? I genuinely don't know.

Hopefully it gets held up as a prime example of everything football is railing against to eliminate the inequality. 

[Bluewolf]

The bloke has to be some sort of cunt to try and pull something like that during the presentation... he deserves a good smack in the mouth... She handled herself well to her credit although clearly felt uncomfortable about the whole thing.. I am not given for emotional people but it might have been better if she left the stage as soon as the presentation had been given then all eyes would have been on that inconsiderate wanker.. 

[Honey Honey]

More digging from him today. Now saying it was meant as a contrast with Frank Sinatra. What. 

[SirBalon]

A lot of these specimens exist.

[Batard]

She rightly didn't look too impressed by his idiocy
