A huge number of fans on Twitter are calling for Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric to win the Ballon d’Or after his performance for Croatia against England.

The 32-year-old put in a world class display to help his country to their first ever World Cup final, just over a month after he shone in Real Madrid’s Champions League final win over Liverpool.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have had a major stronghold over the trophy for much of the last decade, but given Modric’s contribution at the highest level for club and country this year, these fans really have a point as they gush over him tonight…
