The Best FIFA Football Awards
Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric collected The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2018 award in London on Monday evening. Visibly moved by the experience, he later shared his feelings with FIFA.com about the stunning 2017/18 season that led to this crowning moment.
The artful playmaker capped off an incredible year that saw him lead Croatia to the country's best ever finish at the FIFA World Cup™, where he was awarded the adidas Golden Ball for being the tournament's best player. Before his Russia 2018 journey, he played an instrumental role in Real Madrid's run to an incredible third consecutive UEFA Champions League triumph.
Modric reflects on these achievements and puts them into context of his life and his voyage to the very top of world football.

"You always have dreams when you start playing football. I’m the type of person who always wants to be the best, so it’s only natural that I dreamed one day I would come this far, and thanks to God here I am now."
