Keylor Navas, Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric showed off the awards the received at Thursday's UEFA gala ahead of Real Madrid's Saturday night clash with Leganes.
The crowd applauded all three players and even called for the Croatian midfielder to win the 2018 Ballon d'Or prize.
"Lukita, Ballon d'Or," they shouted, up the kick-off of the match.
Ramos and Modric both started the match, while Navas had to take a seat in the dugout after presenting his prize for the best goalkeeper of the season, given that Thibaut Courtois was making his debut in this fixture.

you see if we should judge with stats I don't think modric will win it. am a die hard fan of modric his display and composure in the world cup made me want to be a player but guyz the fact is that this award has Florentino Perez all over it cuz yooo judging by stat its ronaldo . and to top it all up modric should even be on the list it should be ronaldo , and salah for goddamn sake this is uefa award not world cup award . if we are going to favour luka modric because of the world cup then mbappe should atleast win something .Spain was eliminated in the round 16 yet varane did not receive any award for what he did with France . this award is conjoined with two things favouritism and racism .

Griezmann won Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, and World Cup. Messi won Laliga, CDR, and Spanish Super Cup and also Messi performance was the best than any other player. Ronaldo and Modric won UCL only. Salah was a great player, but unfortunately he won nothing. So, I think Griezmann deserves Ballon Dor.
Mbappe and Kante are the reason for Frances success, Atletico’s defense is the reason they are so good, one of the best defenses in the league but a mediocre attack. Messi played awful in the WC and in the UCL who cares about Copa Del Rey’s (only Barca fans). Like always disappears in the important games. Salah didn’t really win anything. Modric Won Champions League three years in a row, UEFA Best, World Cup golden ball, carried Croatia to their best World Cup, Destroyed Kante in the midfield when they played in the final, Kante was subbed off. Modric played overall really well compared to other midfielders, but like I always have to say he isn’t a goal scorer so I can’t compare him to goal scorers but Modric is the best Midfielder right now, he deserves it.
