Luka Modric Hails Ballon d’Or as Football’s Greatest Individual Honour
Luka Modric has described the Ballon d’Or as the greatest individual honour in football, saying his 2018 win remains one of the proudest moments of his career. The Croatian midfielder beat Cristiano Ronaldo and other top contenders after an outstanding season with Real Madrid and Croatia. He said winning during the era of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi made the achievement even more special. Modric’s view differs from Ronaldo’s recent criticism of the award’s voting process and criteria. Ronaldo has argued that statistics and Champions League success should carry more weight, while Modric says the prize remains a major recognition of an exceptional season.
