Monday night's Ballon d'Or ceremony was left shrouded in controversy after DJ Martin Solveig asked women's winner Ada Hegerberg is she can 'twerk' moments after she collected her award.
The Lyon striker and Norway international became the first recipient of the women's Ballon d'Or award but the mood quickly soured when Solveig tried to test her dance moves out. She, like many inside the Grand Palais and those watching across the world, were left seriously unimpressed.
A clip of the exact moment she was asked soon went viral on social media with the reaction of a baffled Kylian Mbappe also highlighting the surprise at Solveig's line of questioning when he asked 'Est-ce que tu sais twerk?' - 'Can you twerk?'.

The French DJ took to twitter to offer his explanation and apologies to Hegerberg after the comments gained worldwide attention.
He tweeted: 'I explained to @AdaStolsmo the buzz and she told me she understood it was a joke.
'Nevertheless my apologies to anyone who may have been offended. Most importantly congratulations to Ada.'
It was a significant moment for the women's game and viewers were left angry that the moment was spoiled by Solveig and host David Ginola as they asked if she wanted to perform the provocative dance move.
She swiftly replied 'no' before returning to the award and paying thanks to those who helped her throughout the season.
Speaking afterwards, Hegerberg, when asked about the incident, said: '(Solveig) came to me afterwards and was really sad that it went that way.
'I didn't really think about it at the time to be honest. I didn't really consider it a sexual harassment or anything in the moment. I was just happy to win the Ballon d'or.'
Tennis star Andy Murray spoke out against the 'twerk' comments on his Instagram story describing it as 'another example of the ridiculous sexism that still exists in sport'.
Users on twitter were quick to condemn the behaviour of Solveig as one user wrote: 'What kind of question is this? And why are these guys laughing? This is disgusting, I'm so sorry for Ada Hegerberg.'
Another wrote: I can't even. Here is Ada, winning a deserved award for her talent as a footballer. Respected by her peers, male & female at the ceremony. Historic, being the first women's Ballon d'Or award. But in that moment, a man tried to diminish her. And we all saw.'
Hegerberg has won nine major titles in four years at Lyon and took the award ahead of England internationals Lucy Bronze and Fran Kirby.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
