The 32-year-old defied all odds to end the ten-year dominance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to claim the Best FIFA Player of 2018 at a ceremony held in London on Monday.
Luka Modric inspired Real Madrid to the UEFA Champions League triumph and also captained Croatia to the final of the 2018 FIFA World Cup staged in Russia, winning the Golden Ball award as the best player of the tournament.
