FIFA Best Awards 2018 Reaction
Modric's win breaks Ronaldo and Messi’s foothold of the prize over the last 10 years.
The 33-year-old Real Madrid star said: ”It is a great honour and a beautiful feeling to stand here with this amazing trophy. First of all I would like to congratulate Mohamed and Cristiano.
"I am sure in the future you will have another opportunity to fight for this trophy.
"This award is not just mine. It is my team-mates’ from Real Madrid and Croatia. Without my coaches I would not have won this. Without my family I would not be the player I am today."
Salah picked up the FIFA Puskas Award for his strike in last season's Merseyside derby against Everton.
The Egyptian's effort, which saw him spin past two Everton players before curling a left-foot shot into the far corner, gained 38 per cent of the 500,000 votes cast.
He said: "I am very happy and very proud.
"I have to thank everyone who for voted me."
