Modric should win any individual prize Messi can't – Rakitic



Barcelona and Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic has said any individual prize Lionel Messi cannot win this season should go to his Luka Modric.



Luka Modric who won World Cup Golden Ball after leading his nation to the final, was named the UEFA Men's Player of the Year and is a contender for the Best FIFA Men's Player.



Messi was not nominated for the award, with Real Madrid midfielder Modric competing with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah for the prize.



Rakitic believes Modric deserves the Best award, and any other honour his Barcelona team-mate Messi cannot win.

"If there is an individual prize that Lionel Messi can't win, then there's no doubt that this season it should go to Luka Modric," he told Marca.

"It wouldn't surprise me if he were to win with many more votes. This has been his year and I am really happy for him.

"If Messi isn't the best, then it has to be Modric."



Remember that Luka Modric was among the important players that won the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid
