Luka Modric has completed a UEFA and FIFA double of individual prizes after collecting the latter’s Best Men’s Player award on Monday night.
Modric was included on a three-man shortlist and triumphed against competition from Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 33-year-old was a star performer as Croatia reached their first World Cup final and his performances at Russia 2018 saw him win the Golden Ball for the tournament’s best player.
And Luka, who was linked with a move to Inter during the transfer window, added another individual honour at FIFA’s Best Awards on Monday.
