Koulibaly rapped: "We have to do double the work to be well evaluated.

"It is a shame that Edouard is not one of the nominees. He is the first African goalkeeper to win the Champions League. We have to keep working. He is a very personable person, positive.

"I've already talked to him about this and he will continue to fight to be there. For me, he deserved to be in the top 30."
