The end is nigh for the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Roanldo doupoly over Ballon d'Or. As reported earlier, a certain Luka Modric is tipped to lift the glittering trophy.
For the record, Messi and Ronaldo have been winning the prestigious award for the last ten years, claiming it five times each.
But this time, the Croatian has reportedly managed to trump the two superstars, thanks to his tireless yet captivating performances for both country and club.
The 32-year-old helped his country to their maiden FIFA World Cup finals in Russia. He also was part of the Real Madrid's record-extending UEFA Champions League winning team.
The midfielder already won the FIFA The Best award this year.
Starting this year, a women's Ballon d'Or will be given out.
