LUKA MODRIC - The New Ballon d'Or After A Decade
The New Ballon d'Or has surfaced and his name is Luka Modric! The Real Madrid playermaker has ended the dominance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
According to Modric his Ballon d'Or win is for all the players who deserved the accolade but missed out because of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's dominance of the coveted award.
For over a decade, the Ballon d'Or has been the Cristiano Ronaldo and Leon Messi show. No more. For the first time since Kaka in 2007, someone else has won the award, and that someone is Luka Modric.
The Real Madrid star made it three straight Champions League titles in May and staked a claim to being the best midfielder in the world in the process. Veteran midfielder ended debate in Russia, where he led Croatia to the 2018 World Cup final and won the Golden Ball for the tournament's best player. Since then, he's taken home the 2018 UEFA Men's Player of the Year award, was named FIFA Best Men's Player for 2018 and now he has officially broken the Messi- Ronaldo hold on the Ballon d'Or.
Ronaldo finished second behind his former Real Madrid team-mate while Messi finished fifth overall.
