Luka Modric is not a happy man despite winning the 2018 Ballon d’Or. The Croatia captain enjoyed a wonderful year, leading his nation to the final of the World Cup, as well as helping Real Madrid win a third successive Champions League title.He subsequently won the Golden Ball at the World Cup, and was also crowned European Best Player. He later added the FIFA Best Player, and the Ballon d’Or award to his glittering individual haul.However, the midfielder appears upset that neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi attended the Ballon d’Or ceremony. In a recent interview, Modric hit out at both players, insisting it is unfair they snubbed the Ballon d’Or.According to him, Ronaldo and Messi only show up when they win, and that is not an exemplary attitude from both players.Modric told Croatian newspaper, Sportske Novosti, via Daily Mail:“I cannot speak about why someone didn't turn up at an award ceremony, it's their choice. It doesn't make sense, does it? It seems these votes and awards are only significant when they win.'It's unfair to fellow players and voters who have nominated them in the past 10 years, as well as to football and the fans. However, people will act the way they think they should.”The Real Madrid midfielder is the first player aside Ronaldo and Messi to win the Ballon d’Or since Ricardo Kaka in 2007. Within that period, Ronaldo and Messi have dominated the award, with each winning the Balon d’Or five times apiece.Despite Modric walking away with the award this time, many football fans are still divided over whether the Croatian midfielder really deserved it.And in the wake of his recent criticism of Ronaldo and Messi, social media has been flooding with comments and varying opinions.Here are some of the best tweets from football fans.Luka Modric won the Balon d'or he didn't deserve and went on criticizing Messi and Ronaldo for not attending his Balon d'or ceremony.😎 https://t.co/tCPXjTm3yn— Prehseedhent Sam (@XammyOfficial) December 17, 2018Regardless of if Modric deserved the Ballon d'Or, he has a very good point about Messi and Ronaldo not turning up on the night of the award.— TweetChelseaUK (@TweetChelseaUK) December 16, 2018🏆 Ballon d’Or 2018 Ceremony:❌ Lionel Messi didn’t attend❌ Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t attend🤷‍♂️ Luka Modric has his say.... pic.twitter.com/9DouddfR42— SPORF (@Sporf) December 16, 2018Not with regards to Messi. He came fifth (lol). No real reason to turn up.Ronaldo on the other hand, was in the top 3 and was Modric's teammate, so he had no excuse for not being there.— Wellington (@tengu_lol) December 16, 2018It would have value if you had deserved to win it... Ronaldo and Messi were way ahead of you from their stellar performances last season too. And you fucking disrespecting GOATS now...From Underrated to Overrated sums up you— Roshazon (@roshazon) December 15, 2018Lol, it's actually insulting for them to be in a room where there was going to be an announcement that Modric was better than Ronaldo and Messi in the year under review. No one likes to be disrespected.— Atsrim SITSO Philip (@OfficialSitso) December 15, 2018For Ronaldo ok, but Messi was 5th why on Earth would he have to be there ???— dodo (@TatiDR94) December 15, 2018It has value when the best players win them. Messi went when Ronaldo won and Ronaldo went when Messi won. NEITHER turned up to your fake BS. You're simply not the best player 2018 and that's a fact.— Kaine (@Kaine19049248) December 15, 2018Still putting respect on this guys name, however, Messi and Ronaldo are a cut above those. We have players at this level today; KDB, Modric, Aguero, Silva, Salah, Hazard, Bale and probably a fair few I've missed.— Dave Calaz🐝 (@TheDaveCalaz) December 14, 2018Modric is not even in the top 10 in the world— William Gransee Jensen (@GranseeJensen) December 19, 2018Xavi: "There was something beautiful about Modric winning the Ballon D'or...but..."[wait for it]"...I would give it to Messi every year."Good man. pic.twitter.com/XStw1QkdLh— totalBarça (@totalBarca) December 16, 2018
