#1 Modric
Modric was the best player at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and hence deserved the Golden Ball which he received after yesterday's final against France. He formed a superb partnership in the midfield with teammate Rakitic and hence the Croatian midfield was regarded as the best in the World Cup.

His hard-work, determination, vision, and pace played an influential part in Croatia reaching the World Cup final. Being the captain of the team, he led the second golden generation of Croatian Football in successfully winning the hearts of everyone in the footballing world.
Having scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 7 games, Modric ran 44.93 miles in 694 minutes and completed 439 successful passes. He was quite impressive against Argentina in the group stage as he scored a wonderful goal from long-range and was part of the midfield which hammered them 3-0.
His performance in the final was probably his best in the World Cup as he overpowered Kante and was a major threat for France throughout the match.
Having won the Golden Ball award, Modric is also a prime candidate for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award.
