A flawless stay
Champions League winner and World Cup finalist Modric has already won the FIFA Men's Outstanding Player Award this year. He became the first player, with the exception of Ronaldo or Messi, to win the first individual FIFA award – in all its forms – since Kaka in 2007.
And now, the Ronaldo / Messi duopoly on the Golden Ball is also seriously under pressure. Again, Kaka in 2007 remains the last player to win this victory.
A LeoVegas study calculated that this Mbappe was the most deserving winner of the 2018 Gold Ball, followed by Griezmann and then Modric.
The methodology consists of awarding points to players for various achievements in the last 12 months: four points for a World Cup win, for example, three points for a win in the Champions League, three points for a win in the national championship etc.
On the basis of this points system, Messi is only the 10th winner of the most deserving Ballon d'Or this year, while Ronaldo is not in the top 10.
Messi receives six points (three for the La Liga, two for the Copa del Rey and one for the men's match at the World Cup). Ronaldo may still have won the Champions League, but a lack of success at the national level seems to have cost him.
At the top of the table, the 12 Mbappe points come from a World Cup win, three national trophies with Paris Saint-Germain and two man-match trophies at the World Cup.
Griezmann won nine to win the World Cup, win the Europa League and give three man-match appearances at the World Cup, while Modric got eight points to win the Champions League, finishing second at the World Cup and three men of the World Cup. Match Rewards.
In this system, Mario Mandzukic is a surprise candidate on seven points for his efforts with Croatia at the international level and Juventus at club level. Ivan Rakitic, Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez and Raphael Varane are the other seven points for their achievements.
Legend of France Michel Platini recently pointed out that Varane was the only player in 2018 to have won both the Champions League and the World Cup. He deserved the central defender and therefore deserves to be the first defender to win the Golden Ball since Fabio Cannavaro in 2006..
The real winner of the prize, chaired by France Football magazine, will be announced in Paris on Monday, December 3rd.
