Is that so?

Well, Modric had only 1 assist in the UCL and Ronaldo had 3.
Ronaldo created 11 chances, Modric created just 7 in UCL.
So who is really the team creative spark here?

They're just realising now that the award is befitting to other players? undecided everything about this award is fixed... Past players deserved this award more than Modric... I guess he's a lucky guy. Congrats to him.

I'm happy tap-in king Ronaldo didn't win it. For the past few years, Ronaldo has been just the best striker in the world, BUT NOT THE BEST PLAYER.

I prefer to use many indices to rate a player with goals scored being the most important of them but certainly not the only criteria.

people who understands football knows the champions league is not the best competition to judge the level of a team, let alone a player because only 7 knockout games could determine a player's fate.

Ronaldo had a very good CL run and world cup, but Just good league season. but all those matches, remove his goals and he becomes a luxury player whose influence is negligible, like in the final.

Nevertheless, Modric is still extremely lucky to have won. the panelists obviously used the world cup as an excuse to give it to him. Because if Ronaldo had won, nobody can cry foul play. I'm just happy he didn't though.

Finally, all the mofos who are busy licking Ororo's balls will have no other argument when trying to tell who the GOAT is. If Ororo had won, they will base their lame argument on the fact that Messi has 5 and Ororo has 6. Hahahahahahahahah

Luka Modric is the Best player of 2018!

CR7 fans can open the book of LAMENTATIONS ChapteR 7 for more details.

This is a victory for pure football, for Artistry and Impact over Statistics, a victory for the Car Engine over the Shiny Headlights, for Consistency over Periodicity. A win by a player who conducts the whole team on the pitch and dictates the rhythm of the game consistently over one who is anonymous for most of the game and then pops up to score penalties and tap-ins all over the place.

If football were meant to be read only as a statistic, then Figo, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Cannavaro and Kaka will never have won the Fifa World player of the year in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007 respectively.

That is for those, especially some of the indomie generation, who never learnt how to appreciate beautiful football.


God bless, sir...

You may be right cos statistically Modric won't even be among Top 100 players in the world but on the field of play he is a joy and magician...so they judged by his performance and not statistics...aside that nobody works harder run around make tackles or influence matches on the pitch than Modric...this is really modric's year

We all thought a new kid will break the duopoly of Ronaldo and Messi... Never knew it will be an old head in the game..
Congratulations Modric, well deserving of the award.. But Salah didn't deserve the puskas award though

I agree with you completely on Salah's puskas but you have to understand that FIFA has a way of compensating losers.

You are simply swallowing the propaganda.

What performance do you speak of?

Let's leave goals and assists and look at other key performances.
