Luka deserves it too in my opinion. Time to quit making the overall best a sole concentrate of strikers/goal scores. A team usually consists of goal keepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers.

Where a weak link exists in any of this makeup, scoring or winning as a team would usually be a mirage.

Kudos to the voters for being bold and far reaching in their decisions.

Ronaldo didn’t score or attempt to score in the semifinals and finals.

Scoring penalties can’t make you the best

Real fans know modric deserves it.



Man united fans are actually the ones complaining.

The biggest problem with Madrid fans is that "una no dey watch La Liga", you guys just watch champions league and even at that, na only Ronaldo una dey watch. I always tell people that without Ronaldo, Madrid would win the Champions League over and over again because this Madrid team is over complete (from goal keeper to defence to attack and bench), and join with the crazy luck that Zidane has. Their midfield is the strongest in the world (forget the extra efforts of Barca midfielders, the moment Xavi left the midfield has not been the same), The defence led by Marcelo and Captain Ramos is the best in the world, their attack without Ronaldo is only bested by Barca and PSG. Ronaldo was only lucky to have played with some of the best players playing at their peaks. His contribution to Madrid's game play is as good as zero, he only runs into the box to score goals and sometimes assist from the wings. He does not work as much as the others work, he only scores. So now because he scores goals, he should be the best. Even Navas has more impact on the pitch because if not for that Navas, Madrid would not win a second CL.

The best player in Madrid is MARCELO, quote me anywhere (there is a reason Ronaldo is pushing for Marcelo to join him at Juventus). Without Marcelo, Madrid does not get to the semi's and Marcelo should be winning the best player for his work rate and input and not even Ronaldo or Ramos. Yes Marcelo makes mistakes but he scored very important goals for Madrid and was/is their driving force in attack. Shut Marcelo and Madrid suffers. I am sure most people shouting here don't watch 50% of Madrid's games in the league because if they do, they would understand Madrid would have won and would win without Ronaldo. That team is too complete and have players playing at their peak, Bale has already covered the void left by Ronaldo already. Ronaldo should appreciate the best forward award he was given, even the best goal should have gone to Bale, they were only trying to compensate him and he should be appreciative.

Every single player in Madrid deserve the award, but in my opinion its between Salah and Marcelo (Salah because Liverpool would have won that final if not for the injury and he had a fantastic season).

Since my people here believe Ronaldo is god... Lets see him win the CL with Juventus.

Thank u my brother. When ronaldo won d last balon d'or i was like is it only strikers that win this thing, what of d other players that do assist. I was like fifa shld consider d assists and defenders too. Someone like Marcelo really deserved one of those awards dt ronaldo collected bc dt guy has been helpful in that team, his defence mechanism is superb.
Giving d award to only srikers is nt fair @ all. That is why other players are jealous and of course it's normal.
So to me i wanted Modric to win it and i'm glad he won.

donbenie:
He may have won the World Cup but was he in any way exceptional?.Was he even the best player in the French team?
Modric was head and shoulder above him in the World Cup and won the best player award and he won the Champions League too,so why should Griezman be favored above him?

gurunlocker:


Lol.... You really think he will win the Ballon D'or? Because he won the champions league? In fact he won't win FIFA the best award (Mbappe or Griezmann are in better position to win)....

I am no Ronaldo hater but sentiment apart, Ronaldo is just a goal scorer and nothing more. His team mate sacrifice a lot just to make sure he score and feel happy.

Have you noticed something about Ronaldo in the last 3 years? He always flop in the first half of the season and then have a good 3 or 4 months (He will score tone of goals within that month), but someone that has been consistent throughout the season won't even win what he won.

Did you remember voting was extended because he scored an hattrick against Sweden when he won his second Ballon D'or? What do you have to say about that?

Why did you think Perez allowed Ronaldo to go but stopped Modric with every means? It's simple, Ronaldo can be replaced easily since his contribution is mainly the goal part and those that provide the goals are Modric, Kroos and Benzema...

Benzema was a hot striker before, but just to make Ronaldo happy and score, he will see the goal post and still be looking for Ronaldo.

I know he deserved to win the UEFA BEST PLAYER as I was also surprised he didn't win, but things like this happen. It has favor him before, now it's against him.

I also think leaving Madrid also contributed to the snub...

My brother u spoke my mind.
If i were in d fifa team marcelo wld've won 2 balon d'or by now. Infact whenever i see d zeal with which dt guy plays i pity him bc @ d end of day another person collect d award. It's not fair @ all for ronaldo to collect 5 awrads bc he only scores goals.

Frankiss44:


What consistency are u talking about, aside world cup, Modric had a few decent games en route the Champions league final.. His assists and goal stats says it all.. Meanwhile Ronaldo didn't just finish as the highest goal scorer, but he won 8 man of the match award enroute the finals, meanwhile Modric that was present in all the games never won 1...

ollah2:


If he wasn't exceptional, France wouldn't have won the world cup. He played against Modric in two finals and he edged him out wining the world cup and UEFA super cup. Lastly, he also won the Europa league.

Dailymemoirs:

I am sorry if it's the way u reason then I can't help u

nelsonebby:

I Never asked for your help

deebrownneymar:
In fact I was very shocked. This is pure robbery. Disgusting.

This will only motivate CR7 to do better this season.

Thunder fire all em' haters.

Nbote:
Some of U fanboys are funny.. Does it make sense dat becos he had a few gud games he deserves to win d award?? Ronaldo had a poor season last season whether U want to admit it or not... D awards are based on overall performances all over d season, not a few gud performances . D season started in August and Madrid had to do without Ronaldo's goals till January/February and if not for Modric's consistency Zidane would have been sacked by November and then becos Ronaldo scored in d quarter finals and semi-finals of d champions league he's better than d person who's being there from d group stages?? I'm sure U ppl are waiting for him to score in Juve to tell everyone how he's already d best player in d Serie A

johnstar:
Luka modric deserves it


They both won champions league



Ronaldo couldn’t help is country to d world cup final


But luka modric did it



So he deserves it


Congrats luka modric

Its not by goals dat will make u win d best player
Its by helping your team

Next is eden hazard

nursefelix27:
it's wrong to have snubbed Ronaldo on this.. I guess the criteria for the award was clearly on the champions league and not world cup..

if the award was judged on the world cup then Raphael Varane should have won the award because he won the champions League and the world cup..

A greater concern for Ronaldo should be the World best player Award because with what played out at the champions league Awards Modric might just clinch the converted price.

uzoma213:
oh this is uefa award and not FIFA award oo... I tire for una

AAA593:
you will not see ronaldo performing in games but when he scores, you will see his fans shouting world best. what of modric performing in every match. is it only goals that determine who wins awards?

Zceesneh:
are you serious? FIFA is in charge of every football activities in the world, without FIFA, there will be nothing like UEFA, This is World cup year, so world cup will determine 70% of who will win both the ballon d'or and UEFA best player

Dailymemoirs:

Uefa have named Luka Modric as the winner of the Best player award for last season’s edition of the Champions league. The 32 year old amassed a total of 313 points, 90 more than Ronaldo who finished ahead of Mohammed Salah in the chart.
While Ronaldo was instrumental in his team reaching a third consecutive Uefa Champions league finals and trophy Modric was however named best player by a combination of coaches and journalist a decision that has upset Juventus director and Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes.

” Football is played on the field and that’s where Cristiano won. He scored 15 goals carried Real Madrid on his back and conquered the Champions league again.
The winner is not in doubt as Ronaldo is the best in his position” Mendes told

The Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta also fumed over the decision as he felt Ronaldo deserved to be crowned best for his performances in the Champions league and not robbed by an unfair decision.

” Our criticism concerns a deep bitterness for the decision because the award refers to the Champions league and not the world cup and I believe that Cristiano Ronaldo has given the best emotions of the world cup and also fantastic goals. I take nothing away from the football coaches and journalist but I would have voted for Ronaldo as a football fan.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not show up at the event a sign that he felt cheated after a stunning campaign which saw him score in eleven consecutive matches from the earlier season up till the Juventus game in Spain a record no one had achieved ever

He was GOOD in the World Cup,even GREAT but he was not EXCEPTIONAL..Modric on the other hand was truly EXCEPTIONAL maybe with Eden Hazard..
Yes he won the World Cup but even in THAT team Mbappe would be a more recognizable character..and it can be argued that winning the Champions League is of more prestige than the Europa League,Griezman deserves to be in the running for the Award but for who merits the ACCOLADE,Modric has no Contest..

Zceesneh:
without modric how will your ronaldo score?

Football is not just about scoring goals,Modric is a Midfielder and he was great for Madrid from day one of the season till the end of it which is more than I could say about Ronaldo..
You may not have noticed what he played because you were more concerned with who scored and how many he scored..thank God you were not among the voters..

Offisteven:
Luka modric who was consistent in the champions league and also a gold medalist like christiano Ronaldo and who is currently a first runners up(a silver medalist) in the world cup. who deserves to wear the crown? Unless you are telling me that the highest goal scorers are always considered to be the world best.

STILESGANG:
Stop disturbing yourself. He cant win any other individual award again. Definitely not in juve. His glory days ended the monent he stepped out of the great madrid jersey.
