Not an undeserving winner but not sure he had a much better year than say Hazard or de Bruyne who also performed well at the WC. Then you still have the 2 freaks messi/cr7, the french lads who won the wc etc. Pretty interchangeable top 10 imo.
Modric's wife though, absolutely stunning.

Ada Hegerberg was asked to twerk by the DJ when she received her women's award. Probably just to let her know that it's still a boys club out there.
For France Football nothing exists outside of Real Madrid or Barcelona. Even giving it to someone who isn't Ronaldo or Messi must have been a huge strain for them.
