Luka Modric overcame the challenge of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah to be named the FIFA men’s player of the year.
The Real Madrid star, 33, was handed the gong at an awards ceremony in London tonight, capping off a remarkable 12 months for the midfielder.
FIFA Best Awards results – the full list of EVERY winner – Luka Modric, Mohamed Salah, Didier Deschamps all in the honours.
Modric played an integral role in Real Madrid’s third straight Champions League victory and then led Croatia to their first ever World Cup final.
In his speech, the former Spurs maestro thanked his team-mates and family in English, Spanish and Croatian, and said he was proud to receive this prize in front of FIFA’s deputy general secretary Zvonimir Boban, a star of Croatia’s 1998 World Cup side.
Modric’s win breaks the Lionel Messi-Ronaldo duopoly of the last 10 years and it follows his player of the tournament prize at Russia 2018 and UEFA player of the year accolade last month.
The emotional Croat said: ”It is a great honour and a beautiful feeling to stand here with this amazing trophy. First of all I would like to congratulate Mohamed and Cristiano.
“I am sure in the future you will have another opportunity to fight for this trophy.
“This award is not just mine. It is my teammates from Real Madrid and Croatia. Without my coaches I would not have won this. Without my family I would not be the player I am today.
Thanks to my fans for all the great support and love they are showing me. It means a lot. Thanks to those who voted for me.
“I would just like to mention my footballing idol and former 1998 Croatia captain. He was my big inspiration and that team gave us belief we could create something in Russia.
“This award shows that we can all become the best with hard work and dedication. All your dreams can come true.”
Brazil’s Marta picked up her sixth FIFA women’s player of the year prize, beating Olympique Lyonnais duo Ada Hegerberg and Dzsenifer Marozsan.
The 32-year-old, who now plays her club football for Orlando in the United States, has scored 110 goals for Brazil.
This, however, was her first world player-of-the-year accolade since 2010, although she has been runner-up three times since, and her emotion at winning the prize was obvious during her acceptance speech.
Olympique Lyonnais Feminin boss Reynald Pedros was named FIFA’s women’s coach of the year.
