The Croatian captain won the Golden Ball award for the World Cup’s best player despite being on the losing side to France in a thrilling final, while France’s Antoine Griezmann, who also scored his fourth goal of the tournament in the final, came third.
Modric was named man-of-the-match three times in Croatia’s seven games in Russia, but even the Real Madrid midfielder was powerless to stop France’s firepower and the rise of 19-year-old Kylian Mbappe.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward won the young player of the tournament award after scoring his fourth goal of the competition in the final, which France won 4-2.
Despite Griezmann and Mbappe getting on the scoresheet, England’s Harry Kane claimed the Golden Boot for his six goals.
