Goal 50 winner Modric: Real Madrid going for fourth straight Champions League triumph

The 33-year-old was proud to end Ronaldo and Messi’s recent duopoly on the Goal 50 trophy and is confident of Real having a great season
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.

Modric has now added the Goal 50 trophy to his growing collection of individual honours after finishing above last year’s winner, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who finished second and third, respectively.
In doing so, Modric ended Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s recent duopoly of the prize, with the Portuguese and the Argentine having claimed every Goal 50 trophy since Wesley Sneijder triumphed way back in 2010.


"I am very happy to receive this award,” Modric told Goal .

“I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. It is an honour to receive it, and to follow in the footsteps of these two great players.
“Winning after these two makes me very happy. It is an honour for me.”

A good season would surely entail winning yet another Champions League. Madrid have lifted the last three editions of club football’s biggest trophy – and four of the last five –and Modric believes that the Blancos can retain their title.
