Modric winning the Ballon D’or doesn’t sit well with me. He was great during the World Cup but his team had an easy path and he didn’t win it and he didn’t do much in the final. He was key to Real Madrid winning the CL but so was Varane and Varane was also key to France winning the World Cup. The Ballon D’or has zero critea, because if you want to argue that Modric deserved the Ballon D’or this year then how the hell don’t you give it to Iniesta in 2010. Modric is a tremendous player but there’s no way in hell you can convince me that he was the best player in the world last season. I even think Mbappe would’ve made a better choice, he’s been tremendous all year and won the World Cup while scoring in the final and 2 vs Argentina.
