Wesley Sneijder took to Instagram to congratulate Luka Modric after the Real Madrid star dedicated his recent Ballon d'Or to the Dutchman and other players that were never able to capture the award.
Modric was recognized as the winner on Monday, topping Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann to win the award with Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi rounding out the top five.
The Croatian's win ended Messi and Ronaldo's duopoly, with the two having won each of the last 10 awards dating back to 2007.
Modric became the first player since Kaka to upset the Messi-Ronaldo dominance, and the Real Madrid star went on to dedicate his award to "all these players that probably deserved to win but didn't".
