#1 Luka Modric
Luka Modric is in top form at the moment and looks quite unstoppable. He has been winning trophies after trophies personally as well as for his club Real Madrid. The playmaker was one of the key players in Real Madrid's 3rd successive Champions League victory last season. He has formed a world-class midfield partnership with Toni Kroos at Real Madrid.

Being the captain of Croatia, Modric played his leadership role with perfection as he helped his country reach the final of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. For his world-class performance throughout the World Cup, Modric was awarded the prestigious FIFA Golden Ball.
Having already won the FIFA Best Player of the Year Award, Modric will certainly look to increase his trophy tally. Hence, Modric is a top candidate to be nominated in the 3 man-shortlist for the 2018 Ballon d'Or.
