Shit makes me cry everytime I watch it. Thank you so much Luka. Thank you for everything you've done for Croatia and everything you continue to do. Hvala Luka, moje kralj.
I noticed that too, and it was a delight to see ... I was expecting Modric to acknowledge Zidane though, but probably his mind was buzzing with million thoughts despite of his usual appearance of self control and at ease, as on the pitch.
I'm pretty sure that the idol he was talking about is Robert Prosinecki , he was an amazing player in France 1998 and is an inspiration for many Croatian players
Luka Modric earned every molecule of that trophy. He's been an underrated player for years and is only now receiving the recognition he deserves. He's the player who's a constant threat on the pitch, minute-by-minute, match in, match out. His performance during the World Cup was just the icing on the cake.
Damn, seeing Boban about to cry as Modric was speaking Croatian gave me watery eyes. Two legends from such a small country and even smaller population, think what you want, but these Croatians are an amazing bunch.
3:42 is Zvonimir Boban, he just mention him "My idol captian of Croatian national team in World cup 1998 in France" , he is also former star of AC MILAN.
I am so happy for Boban, it means a lot to him, tears show it. I think he was for long period very sorry Croatia didn't enter final 98 - in clash with France, he did a great mistake, lose ball near goal from Thuram, and Thuram score one oh his two winning goals for France. Boban play that mathc injured, asking coach not to put him in, coach insisted. I think with this Luka words about Croatia team 98, Luka healed Boban emotianal wound til the end. This was the greatest impact Luka did that celebration evening. Thank you Luka, you are a great man.
Messi deserve more than anyone...Luka deserve Bronze Medal...💜💜🥀🥀..and He already win every biggest awards liked ballon dor player of the year world cup golden ball💜💜🥀🥀🥀
A generational footballer. He plays football so effortlessly, makes it look so easy which is probably the hardest thing. In a time, where fanboys galore over more marketable players with occasional flares, Modric perfectly represents what football should be. Like he said, this award is "dedicated to everyone who loves football".
I actively went out of my way to watch this. I am glad I did. Big salute to this man. Luka Modric should be the type of sportsman they teach about in schools. Not the biggest man, perfecting skills, hard work, dedication, desire, belief. He inspires many not just Croatian boys and girls. I really hope he can win the world cup with his team. What a story that would be ! Do fairytales come true? In this case, I hope so.
I love you modric,from. A refugee to the best footballer in the world people may disagree but they can't disagree that modric is the best midfielder in the world right now
Luka is so amazing! He inspires people all over the world. I'm Brazilian and he is my favorite player ever. The more I know him, the more I admire him. I love this guy!
@@markmusic5303 I felt sad for Brazil and happy for Croatia. A mix of feelings. Croatia never gives up and I admire that. And Modric's behavior at the end left a warm feeling in my heart.
Everyone who thinks that Luka didn't deserve the trophy, did you watch at least the 2018 Football World Cup? Luka was amazing there! He truly deserved it. Greetings from Russia!
This award is not related to World Cup this award is UEFA which is relate to champions league or anything that belong to UEFA. World Cup is not UEFA okay
I know there are plenty of amazing goal clips out there but that goal he scored againced Argentina at the World Cup was beautiful. Just looking at everything else he did I think he deserved it back in 2018
I'm so proud of Modric! He is down to earth and respectful. He will never be arrogant or failing. I am so happy that he exists. Every game that I watch is much more fun because he is there. Good job Luca!💪
Koja sreca i emocija! Kakav igrac i covjek. Kakav ponos i u pozadini kada vidis da najbolji kapetan svih kapetana Hrvatske reprezentacije Zvone Boban u pozadini place onda shvatis tko uistinu voli nogomet i kome sveti dres uistinu zivot znaci. Ovo je dokaz da nije bitno odakle si tko si sta si koje si vjere ili nacije bitno je dali si covjek ili nisi.
What a great player, and incredible human being. I have always loved watching Luka, and what he has done these past two world cups to lead Croatia to the final 4 is legendary stuff. You cant tell the story of soccer without mentioning his name! He has many fans here in the USA, and I hope he stays involved with the game for a long time.
Modric deserves that award,,, i think Modric is an underrated footballer since now,, he has been living under shadow of star-studded real Madrid team especially cr7, Now when he got his chance to shine in wc,, he grabes it
This award does not relate to World Cup I don't understand why y'all think he deserves this award. This award is based on UCL or anything that is under UEFA..
I haven’t really followed his career or watched any of his interviews but after this speech he has my respect as human being. Such an inspirational speech. He is a real authority. Wish you all the best Luka!
He deserves it so much. He's the engine that makes his teams Real and Croatia run. He doesn't get that much goals and assists but he's always the guy making the pass before the assist and breaks the defence. Always calm and composed. He is also humble and always wants the best for his teammates. I wish Pirlo, Xavi and Sneijder won atleast one too. People need to appreciate playmakers like them. Also, can someone translate what he said in Spanish and Croatian? Thanks!!
Best acceptance speech ever. As a real madrid fan I can't even express the pride and joy l have from seeing luka win the award Got me right in the feels😭
No words, Lukita... As a Real Madrid fan who goes to Bernabeu every match, the fact he had those words in Spanish to all fans, means what kind of person he is. We will continue supporting you till the very end, LEGEND!
Anyone (i.e. is an non-partisan) who actually saw the match could easily tell how the referees were biased against Croatia.😓 Its hard to think of what they might have against these innocent rising stars. Its so sad that in the final, even after having VAR, such mistreatment was provided to the Croatian team. I personally think that Croatia were the ones who really desreved to win. Just seeing how they played (in every match ; not just the final), it was Fabulous! 😊
LUKA MODRIC IS NOT THE BEST!!!!,Vergonha, quem é o melhor do mundo não GANHA?. Mas que grande palhaçada. Cristiano Ronaldo, não vá ás cerimónias de prémios da UEFA. A UEFA, não merece a sua presença. Mas que grande palhaçada. OFERTA DA UEFA LUKA MODRIC EM PROMOÇÃO, COMPRAM-SE VOTOS. VERGONHA, VERGONHA, VERGONHA (...) VERGONHA. CR7 IS THE BEST!!!!!
Lukita Modrić, what a player but even more what a figure! Class act recognizing Mo's and Cristiano's season, and showing us what football is about, being a role model and inspire future generations with hard work, dedication and belief 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 even though im a barça follower, i love this man's vision of the game! 🇲🇽⚽️
Seeing Zvonimir Boban crying at this ceremony makes all Croats proud. Everyone who knows croatian history knows what those tears represent. Boban proud that Luka is best new 10 ever...he was his idol as a kid.
What a great player and humble and true man he is! All the best to Luka and his team (Real Madrid and Croatia national team). Well deserved, well taken!
The "Rocky Balboa" of football, such an inspiring story from the face of the underdog team from that little unknown Croatia, that nobody saw it coming and made us dream. Congratulations!
@@mumtazibrahim8625 no just stop. He played well in seasons but absolute crap in uefa and wc. Modric played the best in all three main competitions. League, ucl and wc.
He played for Real Madrid and Croatia national team very well. Also, he has modest character. He really deserves to win 'The best fifa men's player 2018'.
Never forget that after the transfer in Real, the spanish press was saying Luka was the worst buy Real made. Just shows you they know nothing about football and care only about making drama.
There will never be another Luka Modrić! He encompasses everything an athlete should aspire to be. Humble, dedicated and hardworking are just a few of the wonderful qualities he possesses. What an amazing role model for future generations. Bless you Luka, it’s a joy watching you!
