Toure, 29, claimed the prize for the second consecutive year, capping a season where he helped guide his club to the English Premier League title, their first in 44 years.
Yaya Toure: “I have a lot of emotion.
“I think this night is so special for me.
“I think this year is going to be tough. I think there’s going to be a fight to be at the top."
Drogba: “Being in competition against Yaya and Alex was for me very difficult.
“For me, I don’t mind if Yaya wins. I’m very proud.”
