Luka Modric has spoken of his delight after winning the 2018 Goal 50 – awarded to the world's best player of the last 12 months – and says that Real Madrid are gunning for a fourth straight Champions League trophy, despite their poor start to the season.
The Croatian metronome enjoyed the best year of his brilliant career in 2018, lifting the Champions League with his club and leading his country to the final of the World Cup in Russia.
This saw him pick up a host of individual prizes, including the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball, The Best FIFA Men’s Player of 2018 and UEFA Men’s Player of the Year Award.
