Thursday night was a big one for European football, with the ​Champions League draw for the 2018/19 campaign taking place in Monaco. But the Croatian emerged as the man of the hour, picking up two awards on the night. Real stopper Keylor Navas snatched up the Goalkeeper of the Season Award for his exploits during Los Blancos’ run to the trophy.

His teammate Sergio Ramos won the Defender of the Season Award, while Modric, who had a stellar year which also saw him win the 2018 World Cup’s Golden Ball, was named the Midfielder of the Season. Former Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, now at Juventus, claimed the Forward of the Season Award as well.
