Croatia and Real Madrid midplayer, Luka Modric has beaten the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi, to win 2018’s Ballon d’Or.
Modric played a pivotal role for his club as they stormed to a third consecutive Champions League title, as well as captaining Croatia to second place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
With France having won the World Cup, Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and even Modric’s fellow Madrid team-mate Raphael Varane had been amongst the favourites alongside the evergreen duo of Ronaldo and Messi.
