Croatia star Luka Modric pipped former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo and Liverpool talisman Salah to the main prize at a star-studded awards show in London. But Salah, who collected goal of the year honours, did not even have the consolation of being chosen in the team of the year, with new Juventus signing Ronaldo leading the line up front. Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard was one of three Premier League representatives on the list, selected in a three-man supplementing role to Ronaldo alongside Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Paris St Germain's Kylian Mbappe. Manchester United's David De Gea was selected ahead of Real Madrid counterpart Thibaut Courtois, who was voted as the best goalkeeper in the world. Dani Alves grabbed one full-back spot, with Real Madrid trio Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo completing the defence, while Modric and Chelsea's N'Golo Kante given the nod in a two-man midfield.

Modric was voted FIFA’s best player in the 2017-18 season after winning the Champions League for a fourth time in five seasons with Real Madrid and leading Croatia to its first World Cup final where it lost to France. Messi and Ronaldo have been the only winners of world soccer’s main individual award from FIFA in various guises since 2008, both winning five titles each. Messi didn’t make the three-man shortlist and skipped the trip to London. Ronaldo was shortlisted but also didn’t turn up at the ceremony to be dethroned in person by his former Real Madrid teammate. Egypt forward Mohamed Salah also made the top three for the first time. AWARD WINNERS FULL LIST: Mens Player of the Year: Luka Modric (Real Madrid and Croatia) Womens Player of the Year: Marta (Brazil) Mens Coach of the Year: Didier Deschamps (France) Womens Coach of the Year: Reynald Pedros Puskas Award: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool v Everton) FIFPRO World XI: De Gea, Alves, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Modric, Kante, Hazard, Messi Mbappe, Ronaldo FIFA Fan Award: Peru supporters FIFA Fair Play Award: Lennart Thy (VVV Venlo, missed a match last year to donate stem cells to help a Leukaemia patient) Salah’s strike in last season’s Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield has won the Puskas Award for the goal of the season. Ten goals were shortlisted for the award, with many pundits predicting a win for Gareth Bale’s acrobatic volley in the Champions League final for Real Madrid against Liverpool. While Aussie Riley McGree’s jaw dropping scorpion strike in last season’s A-League grand final was also snubbed. But the Egyptian star’s effort, which saw him spin past two Everton players before curling a left-foot shot into the far corner, gained 38 per cent of the more than 500,000 votes cast. France’s World Cup-winning coach Didier Deschamps won FIFA’s best coach of the year prize in recognition for his work in leading Les Bleus to success in Russia. Deschamps beat off competition from Zlatko Dalic, who led Croatia to the World Cup final before losing 4-2 to France, and his former French team-mate Zinedine Zidane, who won a third consecutive Champions League title with Real Madrid before resigning in June. Olympique Lyonnais Feminin boss Reynald Pedros has been named FIFA’s women’s coach of the year, pipping Matildas coach Alen Stajcic. Pedros’ side claimed a women’s Champions League and French league double last season, stamping their authority as the world’s best women’s club side. Stajcic was in the running after guiding Australia to an all-time high ranking of world No.4 at the end of 2017, following two victories over Brazil and finishing runners-up in the Asian Cup.<doc-sep>
By Online Desk Luka Modric ended Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's decade-long domination of football's individual awards by being crowned FIFA's best player of the year on Monday. He is the first player other than Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi to win the Fifa award since Kaká in 2007. The Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder starred for both club and country as Madrid won a third straight Champions League, and he inspired Croatia to reach the World Cup final for the first time. Modric scored twice and also netted in penalty shootout wins over Denmark and Russia, but it was his playmaking ability that caught the eye in winning the Golden Ball for the best player at the World Cup.
