Solveig asked Hegerberg, the first ever women's Ballon D'Or winner, whether she could perform the dance move.

The Norway star swiftly replied 'no' to the bizarre request, in a tense and awkward exchange on stage.

Footy fans watching the action were left outraged by Solveig's behaviour.

"Extremely disrespectful. Never heard of Martin Solveig. End his career. Have som respect!" posted one.

Another wrote: "Martin Solveig Disasterclass."

A third tweeted: "Martin Solveig acting like a clown at the ceremony."

After the ceremony, Solveig issued an apology on Twitter.

He wrote: "Sincere apologies to the one I may have offended.

"Watch the full sequence People who have followed me for 20 years know how respectful I am especially with women."

England defender Lucy Bronze, who finished sixth in the Ballon D'Or standings, and plays alongside the Norway star at Lyon said: "The DJ asked each person that won what their dance was but she can twerk, she was lying.

"It was more of a joke of making her dance."

Hegerberg herself said: "He 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 do the dance and win the Ballon d'Or to be honest. I will have a glass of champagne when I get back, yes."

Hegerberg won the innaugral award on the back of an impressive spell at French club Lyon.

Wolfsburg and Denmark star Pernille Harder came in second, with Germany's Dzsenifer Marozsan third.

Real Madrid star Luka Modric won the men's award - ending a decade of dominance by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Modric is the first player since Kaka in 2007 to end the duopoly.

Modric paid tribute to former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp when collecting the award.

"Change of position helped me a lot in my career. I used to play more offensively," Modric said.

"When I dropped back, I was able to read the game better and show my creativity. Harry Redknapp made that change."

Kylian Mbappe, the France and PSG star, won the Kopa award for best young player.

Christian Pulisic, of Borussia Dortmund and the USA, was second. Justin Kluivert was third.
