The Legend Of Luka Modric
Luka Modric was once labelled the worst transfer of the season and one of the worst transfers ever when he was bought by Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspurs in 2012. He has transformed his game and turned his haters into fans as he is the first player in history to bring an end to probably the greatest duopoly in sporting history, by winning the Ballon d'Or 2018, defeating Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann.
A World Cup finalist, Golden Ball winner 2018, and a five-time UEFA Champions League winner, the Croatian can look back at his career with much pride and proud as he has had one of the finest careers in the history of the sport.
