In case you didn't know...

The Croatian rose through the ranks after he led his home country to their first FIFA World Cup final ever as well as his role in Real Madrid's third consecutive UEFA Champions League title win.
Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann finished second and third behind Modric respectively. Five-time winner Lionel Messi, on the other hand, finished in fifth place, causing massive outrage among fans.

Meanwhile, Merv-Ann Thompson, a representative of St Kitts had a top five comprising of Neymar, Sergio Ramos, Luis Suarez, Alisson and Sergio Aguero.
