Modric's Golden Year

It caps off a memorable year for Modric, who won his third Champions League in a row at Real Madrid before inspiring Croatia to the World Cup final against all odds.

In addition to UEFA Men's Player of the Year and World Cup Golden Ball, the Croatia captain ended Ronaldo and Messi's 10-year domination of two world-famous and coveted awards: FIFA Men's Best Player and Ballon d'Or.

And now, the 33-year-old has been recognised as the Player of the Year in 2018 for All Football's acclaimed award.

One more thing!

As a world-leading football media and community, we're SOON going to present the All Football Player of the Year award and have an exclusive interview with Luka Modric!

Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo received All Football Player of the Year 2017 award, also known as Dongqiudi MVP, in a special ceremony in Madrid, Spain! 

We hereby express our sincere gratitude and heartfelt tribute to all the AFers who participated in the annual event!

See you next year!
