Meanwhile, FIFA has recently published the full breakdown of the person who voted for the top 10 FIFA Best players 2018.

Well, the award was decided by a collection of votes which comes from the skippers of each international team, designated media officials and their managers from each country.

Meanwhile, each voting player has to make 3 decisions- a 1st-placed player would receive 5 points, a 2nd-placed player to receive three points along with a 3rd-placed player to receive one point.

Modric won the award with 29.05 percent of the vote after helping Real Madrid win a 3rd consecutive Champions League crown while Salah got 11.23 percent and Ronaldo received 19.08 percent and leading the Croatian football team to the finals.

After the ceremony, FIFA revealed the breakdown of the vote along with some interesting surprises among the selections.

For the first time in my life I must admit my admiration for Lionel Messi in the FIFA Awards.

Messi wasn't part of the Top Three Nominees but he voted for Cristiano Ronaldo in the Top Three ranks.
