The Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder, Luca Modric this evening has been crowned FIFA World’s Best Player of 2018.
The Croatian World Cup star player won the Golden Ball at the World Cup and was also named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year in August.
The FIFA Football Awards Monday evening, featured Christiano Ronaldo and Mohammed Salah fighting along Modric for the best male senior footballer on the globe.
The award caps off an incredible year for Modric, who won his fourth Champions League title with Real Madrid in May, before leading his country to a World Cup final in July and being crowned UEFA Men’s Player of the Year last month.
The Best Men’s Player of the Year award, formerly named the Fifa World Player of the Year, has long been dominated by both Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but Barcelona forward Messi failed to make the shortlist for this years award for the first time since 2006. Neither player was present in London on Monday.
