Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos has backed team-mate Luka Modric to win the 2018 Best FIFA Men's Player award ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
Ronaldo, who moved from Real to Juventus in July, has won the award the last two seasons, but Ramos believes Modric deserves the 2018 gong after helping Real win the UEFA Champions League and leading Croatia to the FIFA World Cup final, per Calciomercato:
"Maybe other players have more marketing or bigger names, Modric deserves to win the award. We will see who wins. He's a great friend and there are few players I feel prouder of to have in my team.
