Top 10 Football moments of 2018

#1 Luka Modric winning the Ballon d'Or

Real Madrid CF v Rayo Vallecano de Madrid - La Liga

There is a certain award which is highly acknowledged by the football community. An award which is desired by every player, an award that speaks volumes of a player’s performance in a particular year and that award is none other than the Ballon for.

For the last 10 years, the famous trophy was repetitively swinging between 2 men- Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The world has never witnessed a rivalry like this where 2 players who most certainly are 2 of the greatest footballers of all time, have battled for the ballon dor for 10 consecutive years and the fact that no one won other than them is pretty darn impressive.

With all that said, this brings us to the 2018 edition of the Ballon d'Or. Finally, we have a new face. After all these years, the trophy became habitual of being won by Messi and Ronaldo but now there is a new man on the list who can boast of being the best player on the planet and that man is Luka Modric.

The Croatian won the UCL with Real Madrid and came close to winning the FIFA world cup in Russia as Croatia were beaten by France in the final. Modric was deservingly named as the best player of the tournament.

Breaking the dominance of Messi and Ronaldo was no easy task but Luka was just that damn good!
