Murgia’s man delivered an emotional speech at the London Palladium that moved those present and the fans watching the ceremony on television. In it, Simón said he had taken a weight off his shoulders and thanked those who helped him achieve the award.

Right now I have taken a weight off my shoulders of all the nerves I had. When I heard the name, a thousand thoughts came to mind, and I have tried to thank many people who have been on my path to get this award.

I am not aware of the title they have given me, of the award. Surely when I get home, with my teammates and friends, I will feel it more, recognize it and give it the value it deserves.
