Real Madrid’s Luka Modric has been awarded the Ballon d’Or on Monday night, bringing to an end the 10-year dominance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
According to The Guardian, the Croatian midfielder was named as the best player in Europe at tonight’s ceremony in Paris, ahead of ex-Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who had to be content with second place.
Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann secured a top three spot, while fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappe was named in fourth, after picking up the ‘Kopa’ award for the best U-21 player earlier in the evening.
Barcelona captain Lionel Messi came in fifth, his lowest finish since 2006, having been in the top two along with Ronaldo for the last 10 years.
