The midfielder helped Real Madrid win a third consecutive Champions League before then leading Croatia to the final of the World Cup in Russia
Luis Figo feels that Real Madrid and Croatia ace Luka Modric is a worthy winner of this year's Goal 50.
It was revealed on Tuesday that the midfielder had finished top of our annual list of the world's top performers from the preceding 12 months, just ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah.
It caps a remarkable year for Modric, who helped Real Madrid win a third successive Champions League in May before then leading his country to the World Cup final.
