Just so we're clear I'm not hating on Modric but criticizing France Football who are the organization in charge of the Ballon d'Or voting.
Because I didn't really discuss much about who I thought should have REALLY won third, here's a little bonus content for you:
MY TOP 3 AND WHY:
1. Ronaldo: he performed the best and was the most dominant player with 48 goals in 48 games, pushed his team through the champions league, and scored a hattrick in the World Cup - a very rare feat. Ronaldo truly deserved it this year. So sad to see all his hard work go to waste. How many 33 year olds in football history have ever done this? And it was obvious after he left RM. They are doing terribly and Modric has played 19 games without scoring a goal.
Juventus has now started 13-0 - their best in history. Also Ronaldo is a Serie A top scorer and has the 2nd most assists so far and to rob him of what should have been a legendary 6th Ballon d'Or is a shame. I'm sure Messi would have won another to match him if he wasn't robbed because he's 2 years younger than Ronaldo so it's no big deal. I know he'll just use this as motivation because even haters can't name any player who works harder than he does - so it's possible to still win one more if he has extreme success with Juve in 2019. It might be his very last chance because you can only fight time but can't win. We'll probably never see anyone like them again and this was an absolute shame to both their legacies.
2. Messi: Not much needs to be said. 5th place behind Mbappe and Griezmann? Even a Messi hater would disagree. 45 goals and 20 assists in 54 games. Won the most trophies (but not the most prestigious one)
3. Mohammad Salah: 6th place is also murder in broad daylight as well. 44 goals in 54 games (slightly higher goal scoring ratio than Messi) Broke scoring records, Lead Scoring in Europe's top 5 leagues (passing Messi) and lead Liverpool to the Champions league final but sadly got injured (Notice how I said he "lead" Liverpool to the CL final while I said Ronaldo "pushed" Madrid to the CL final).
Raymar Football love ur videos been here since 1.7 k
I'm a barca fan but I think Salah should've of won it instead of modric
Did you forget Ronaldo’s start to mid season, when even the bernabeu booed him for not being able to score...like you said its an award for the whole season not the last 3-4 months
I don't get how you're judging Modric's season on goals and assists when he is a MIDFIELDER. He was phenomenal in the latter rounds of the UCL. Yes he didn't get the goals but he, alongside kroos, help see out results because of their passing and ability on the ball. To say his season was not "Ballon D'Or worthy" is ridiculous. He consistently put up solid performances in UCL and La Liga and excelled at HIS role, which doesnt involve scoring 40+ goals.
Raymar Football totally agree with you
They always make the worldcup WAY too important in the assessments
(And the European cups too)
The fifa ruined modric's reputation of a footballer who cannot be hated. Now he has haters i wanted to see hime end up as a footballer who cannot be hated like ronaldinho henry zidane and iniesta etc
It’s only Messi and Ronaldo fan boys who hate him 😂. Doesn’t count, they hate everyone. If you have ever played a game in any level and played in midfield, you would know how amazing of a player he is.

Modric is beyond basic stats like assist and goals. The man is a walking bank, pass him the ball and its safe, always has a solution, such an underrated skill.
i get that he is a great player but you cant deny that ronaldo deserved that one

Bruh you did not just say that. Mesut Ozil had better numbers in Arsenal than Modric in Real
@@YavHeHe1337 it's not about numbers it's about holding that pivot to protect defenders, and he does it with an attacking mindset. Prior to Modric, we had always struggled to fill that post with a world class player. We went through many different players like diarra, gago, granero. Alonso was better but

i'm kind of mindblown..... cr7 1 to 1 ratio.... according to statictics he sounds like a cheat player. You put him in a game and you are almost guarenteed atleast 1 goal
and still he placed second. I'm a Barcelona fan but I'm a fan of fairplay more. This Ballon D'Or and many others throughout the last 20 years are literal robberies. You can't just ignore seasons like Ronaldo's and place him second. Not to talk about Messi, Salah, etc.
@@bodircacezar6071 thats true even messi deserves the ballondor instead of modric and am ronaldo fan but ronaldo deserves it the most hr has the least amount of maches played out of the top 5 and still had more goals than everybody and his getting old no offense but his not in the best shape ever
I’m a Messi fan and I still say Ronaldo should’ve got it.
@@bodircacezar6071 Honestly Messi should have got it. He is as much of a playmaker as Modric but also scores tons of goals. Although Ronaldo was great aswell
Miguel Pereira I agree that Messi is a great playmaker but Ronaldo this year was a totally different animal. I think the haters have finally pushed the guy over the edge talking about his age and his due retirement and about how he is degenerating as a player. He came back stronger, faster, and overall, a better player. The momentum that he built can’t go unrecognized, but sadly, it did. It’s a shame. I’m a Messi fan through and through but even I have to say that Ronaldo should’ve took it.
The way Modric plays around the field, especially in 2018 doesn't get enough credit. He was the steamroller for both Croatia and Madrid, the leader on the pitch and also the person who started creating new attacks and less pressure. I feel like Modric deserved it because only people look at attackers, goals and assists. But never to someone that literally dominates the scene every game he plays.
I agree with your overall point, but for me it's still not enough to warrant a Ballon D'or victory. One of either Messi or Ronaldo should've won, Modric finishing 2nd/3rd would've been perfect
Agreed bro..so wat about iniesta,xavi manuel neuer,ribery...same as modric and better they performed extremely well
@@bharathsurya1 I don't know bro, I am really sure that they deserved it the past years but I feel like Ballon d'or is all about goals and titles, so in my opinion it's very unfair and unlikely for a midfielder, defender or goalkeeper to win
There is no doubt that modric is an amazing player, he keep proving it to this point. But was it really balon d’or worthy and better than the year ronaldo had
@@pabloservin9647 he wasn't
you do realize that you didn't include passes, crosses, dribbles, runs, or any thing in general on what modric actually does.. this also includes being the captain for croatia, motivating the team, creating chances, getting them to the FINAL of the world cup. He also won the champions league 3 years in a row.
If it wasn't for Cristiano, I wouldn't have won any titles
We are not talking about which player we are
We are talking about a player who scores more than his number of matches and creates a lot
We are not talking about an excellent midfielder and a weak striker
We are talking about a good midfielder and an extraordinary striker
Modric hasn't played much and nothing has changed. Cristiano, his first year outside the club, hasn't settled in three years
You disingenuous bastard. He won those three while Cristiano Ronaldo was striker alongside him. He was basically gifted those wins.
He created same no. Of big chances as ronaldo. As was rated 14th best player and ronaldo was 10th rated on sofascore and fotmob
And modric and ronaldo dribble same per 90. Wtf u waffling about
A midfielder that does a pretty good job versus one of the best LW performances in club football.

I would argue that Mo Salah was the closest individually.. and it wasn't fair that he got 6th because he was injured and was sidelined during the tournament. Salah broke records and had carried Liverpool to the champions league final before getting injured
So true
Comparing a midfielder to a striker using assists and goals makes as much sense as comparing a salesman to a programmer based on how many lines of codes they produced.
Where is the number of occasions created? The number of balls intercepted? The rate of succesful passes? The rate of succesful dribbles? The distance covered etc etc. There are so many parameters that you didn't include and that are just as important.
Ok, compare midfield stats😂❤

Ballon D’ors are honestly such a scam, “Individual Brilliance” yet it’s all about trophies and teams
Modric was individually brilliant though. He took a team that no one thought in a million years would make it to the world cup final and did exactly that. That alone deserves it. It's not like Croatia is so much better than Portugal that they couldn't do the same especially as European champions.

Midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers need more attention when it comes to this stuff. In ballon d’or, an attacking player will it 9 times out of 10. Really, all the positions are all very important and don’t get enough credit

exactly
@@cummerchant542 he wasnt shit he was just not the best player that year cr7 and messi did better than him that year ronaldo should have come 1st messi 2nd and modric 3rd in my opinion
@@cummerchant542 define shit
People follow goals and assist but don't account for chances, what other players did to get them those chance (Strikers don't run the whole field top to bottom alone), quality of shots, and overall value added on defense and offense relative to position.
This was basically the World Cup Awards.
Then wesley sneijder should have won it back in 2010. He won the trebele (seri a, the cup and champions league) and lost the final of the world cup with holland against spain.
livechase that was 8 years ago my dude.... you do know time changes right? It isn’t the same if you compare something from 8 years... simple fact that he is right everything was just based on World Cup.. Modric making it to the finals, griezman winning the final and not to mention yeah mbappe did amazing but they hyped him way too much for being the best youngest player but doesn’t change the fact that Ronaldo and Messi are so much better than him, also Mohammed salah did so much better than mbappe if you talk about goals and even leading Liverpool to finals.. it just makes no sense how griezman even is on the top while Messi is 5th or under... this is coming from a Madrid/Ronaldo fan also.

Totally hilarious
If it’s only done on Assists and Goals, defenders and keepers would never win
they never win though for real at least not in last decade
It's much much MUCH harder to prove yourself as a clinical defender than it is to be a clinical forward. Goalkeepers have been close to winning the Ballon D'or so they are at least considered in the voting. But to measure a defender's worth to a team over a whole year by saying "Oh yeah, he stopped a lot of chances" is way too ambiguous. Many required skills of pro defenders can be done basically across the board by most of those pro defenders. Any run-of-the-mill defender can stop a cross or cover a forward making a run; but few forwards in the game today could ever dream of accomplishing the offensive genius by the likes of Messi and Ronaldo.
Tbh they shud have one for each of the 3 main positions atk ,def,mid
If i'm not mistaken Lev Yashin won the 1963 Ballon D'or
It's only done on individual performance, for an attacker it's goals and assists, for midfielders it's assists in first place and maybe scoring and defending, for defenders it's their defensive performance and winning duals, the same for goalkeepers it's their saves that make us judge their performance.
For Modric it's being in RM and playing the world cup final
So funny, midfielder can give 5 good balls to attacker, attacker misses 4 and scores 1 and becomes a hero (:
also modric did all that in world cup with Croatia, a much weaker team than portugal or argentina. Why couldnt they carry their teams to victory if they were so useful? Messi and Ronaldo need a good midfield to play to their full potential and Modric is that good midfielder they need

Griezman, a guy who does Fortnite Dances after scoring a goal is the 3rd best player in the world...
he was the big protag alongside mbappé and modric in the world cup. he played more like an attacking midfielder behind giroud and contributed in 7 goals (3 penalties (1 in final) , one goal from outside the area vs muslera, a deflected free kick in the final, one assist vs uruguay, the assist on umtiti's winner vs belgium). he also hit a perfect free kick vs argentina in the top right corner that hit the crossbar.
statistically he did even better than mbappé.
with atletico he won the europa league by scoring EVERYTIME (r32, r16, qf, sf and a double in tge final), he also won the euro supercup vs real madrid.
plus in LaLiga, considering he plays in a purely defensivist team like Atletico while at times being employed as an attacking midfielder or winger, 19 goals ane 9 assists are good.

The way Modric controlls the ball is not just about getting assists or goals. He builds up a strong attack for his players to do the goalscoring. That sort of skill is underrated. If you are talking about centre-mids then you should bring up the stats of tackles, passes or chances created and you will se a big difference. Modric is a player you can trust becuase he can always hold the ball for a long time and then pass it to the forwards. If you want assists you should go talk to the CAMs and the wingers. SO PLEASE RAYMAR TURN ON THE TV.

Feeling pity for Pirlo/Xavi/Iniesta, they were much better midfielders than Modric at their prime, yet none of them won.
Exactly and now ppl in the future will assume modric is better than them, when in fact he isnt as good as pirlo and doesnt even come close to xavi or iniesta

Instead of telling 2018 ballon d or as unreasonable, we should rather tell 2008-2017 has been uni dimensional in crowning their best players. Iniesta deserved as much accolades as Messi for Barca's victories. I remember how godly Neuer was in front of goal and helped Germany win the WC.
I like both Messi and Ronaldo, but ballon d'or became a Messi vs Ronaldo instead of the bigger picture for a decade because people considered goals as the yardstick and not performance in general
This video also pretty much only mentions goals as a measurement of how good a player performed
Goals are more important than good performances of certain positions.
That's why the most expensive players are attacking players. If you don't have a Goalscorer you will find it hard to win is the point.

incase you started watching football yesterday. Ballon dor is about the individual with the most successful year. And putting modric in top 30 is an immeasurable act of generosity
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"What did France Football do with the votes ?" Nothing. Journalists all over the world decide for who they vote.
CORRECTION
At 7:11
Iniesta (and Barcelona) didn't win the Champions League in 2010. Inter Milan did.
@@viveksriram7400
No 2010. Chelsea won in 2012. UCL winners:
2008-09 Barca
2009-10 Inter
2010-11 Barca
2011-12 Chelsea
What? He was talking about the World Cup
2009*
After 3 years, I can only say he definitely deserve!
Naaa
Well Lassie and Penaldo didn't even play semi final..
SageKing stop sucking of attacking players and know there are other players from other fields...
@SageKing what your talking is true, just because modric won the champions League, they awarded the ballon de or to him, and another thing if Cr7 stayed in real Madrid, it would be Cr7 getting the award instead of Modric
He absolutely deserved it. People who say otherwise have no knowledge about football. When I listen to this moron who made this video, I immediately know he knows nothing about football. He is a world class player and you people obviously don't watch Real Madrid. All you see is Ronaldo and Messi...
after 3 years and the way modric is playing at 35 he deserves that
this comment makes zero sense
@@filippolavacchini3551 start watching football and it'll make sense to you
@@AnkitMishra-pt2br just bc hes still playing well doesnt mean he deserved that ballon d'or
O yea, why zlatan havent won one yet? he has 40 years I think and he stills playing very good, I am wondering why he havent won one these years yet.
Ribery was a victim of Robbery 😂
So was Iniesta 2011 & Neuer 2014
Van Djik 2019
@@Pun1Sh3r_360 theres no way in fucking hell van dijk is going to win, he doesnt deserve it as much as messi, not at all

To every reply: r/woooosh
rakitic under benzema. dumb biased baguettes
Pogba over aguero......
Considering that the vote is made by journalists all over the world(1 vote per country), your comment is dumb
Why is benzema even there...... lmao
Glayd Eiytle 17th in the world i believe LMAO
xama s 1 vote per country, yet there are thousands of votes. Your comment is dumb
Modric deserved it
one thing I think you could argue is that modric put his team on his back for croatia more than any other player for did for any team through the year
Salah 6th as well, does him breaking the scoring record and reaching a champions league final not mean anything? Griezmann only got 3rd because he complained about not getting in the Fifa best top 3. Messi should of won because of his individual performances, and don’t forget as soon as Ronaldo left Madrid they slumped to 5th and are losing 3-0 to teams like Eibar. If Modric was ballon d’or worthy this wouldn’t be happening
you are talking sense and l like your thinking
There are 11 players on the pitch not just Modrić
totally man
Agree with everything. However I think reals problems are also(if not more) because of zidane leaving, not only Ronaldo.
Kylian Mbppaè played very well in the world cup he deserved to be at 3rd place because he was the 2nd teenager to ever score in a world cup final
Mo salah placed below griezzman. What a joke. Salah set the record for goals in a season in the premier league. Brought Egypt to their first World Cup after barely ever qualifying before. Carried liverpool to the ucl final, where he couldn’t perform because sergio ramos injured him. He played better than mbappe and griezmann. My ballond’or would be
1. Ronaldo
2. Salah
3. Messi
I respect Neymar livestreaming on twitch because he didn’t care about this bullshit
how many bicycle kicks did salah score? 1 season wonder
@@ripxx1472 bicycle kicks? thats your measurement of greatness
@@ripxx1472 Your comment doesn't make any sense, Ballon d'Or ranking is defined by players' performance between 2017-2018, so if Salah is 1 season wonder he's still deserved it. Also bicycle kicks is more to Puskas award rather than Ballon d'Or.
Salah over messi, you must be on good drugs. Just like vardy, salah is a one season wonder he's a no one now he deserved the spot he got. Sorry to break it to you but salah is overrated and before you say messi or ronaldo is over rated they have both kept world class year round performances for a decade so use your brain before you comment
@@salahareikat8610 Dude i was joking chill.. Your just waiting to attack someone
If Modric get 1, Griezou atleast have 2 now(16, 18)
2018 France Football were a disgrace
1.Modric winning
2.Salah not even in the top 5
3.Messi 5th?
4.Salah winning Puskas the same goal which didn't even win pl goal of the month
5.If u guys were bored then why didn't u give the next ballon d'or to Van Djik he deserved it as much as Messi
6.In club level,Modric had a better season in 2016/17 than in 17/18😂
Facts
Van djik, best player in the world. Are u crazy or ... are u crazy?
If Modric can win Ballond'or
Then, why can't Iniesta or Xavi do
The Nonsense Of The Century
Because Sneijder and Iniesta actually got robbed in 2010
That not his fault. Iniesta or xavi problem is not modric fault too btw who winning at that times, hmm not other than messi right. Isn't this messi fault? So think carefully before make nonsense think.
because no chance you could beat Messi-Ronaldo at that years.
They prefer real madrid as always
I agreed
In my opinion it's pretty clear that it all about money and corruption.
There is no way modric to win the ucl best player award and the fifa puskas award was an absolute joke ,awarded to salah - bale and ronaldo's bycycle kicks was just taken as a normal goal and both of them scored that too in final and semifinal matches.
We the fans should rise the voice aganist these injustice , not as an individual fan boy but more as a football fan.
if anyone agrees my opinion just hit like to support and comment also.
As soon as Slah was awarded the Puskas award, I knew something was not right.
Voters fatigue
The puskas was voted by the fans, i think all of egypt voted for salah lol
Puskas award is voted by fans, not Fifa. Blame yourselves for voting for Salah's goal.
@@Dani-kq6qq I know puskas award is voted by fans.what I am saying is it is one of the best joke of the year.
if you have to ask this question, you don't know football, you don't know the true modric 💪
