But his club Zenit found a unique way of delivering his award to him, albeit with the unintended consequence of terrifying his cat.
In the clip, the Brazilian is shown filming himself walking towards his flat window before the view switches to what the drone can see.
Another camera catches the drone rising to his window before it glides in through the window, forcing the star’s cat to scarper away in terror.
The drone then lands on the floor and former Barcelona star Malcom picks up the award.
In the video, he said: “I’ve just received a message that I need to open a window.”
As the drone lads, an amazed Malcom says: “It’s powerful.”
He then adds: “I want to thank all the fans of FC Zenit. Thanks for voting for me. I am very happy!
“Stay home. It is important.”
