He was a symbol of solidity in the three-man midfield as he racked up passes, interchanged key positions with teammates, took charge of set-piece duties, scored goals, created goals, captained the side and did everything else in between!
Let's not forget, a few months prior to his World Cup exploits, Modric had lifted the Champions League trophy for the third time in a row. Last but not least, he ended 2018 on a high, winning the Club World Cup with Los Blancos.
