Two days ago the full 30-man shortlist for the 2018 Ballon D'Or and some surprise name were included as well as some excluded. The Ballon D'Or for over 10years have both represented the French award and the FIFA awards. But last year the two awards have been separated as Luka Modric won the FIFA award of last year's player of the year.

The players nominated for this award included Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero, former Roma keeper Alisson Becker, Karim Benzema, Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, Uruguayan and PSG forward Edinson Cavani, Juventus's forward Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester City Kevin de Bryune, Thibaut Courtois, Antoine Griezmann from Atletico madrid, Eden Hazard, N'golo Kante from Chelsea, Isco from Real Madrid, Harry Kane of Tottenham, Godin from Atletico Madrid and Roberto Firmino of Liverpool

Given the fact that Modric was both winner of FIFA player of the year and world cup player of the tournament, he still stands the chance of clinching the Ballon D'Or. Despite winning the Champions league and runner-up with his country in the world cup, he still faces strong opposition from Cristiano Ronaldo who scored 44-goals, Mohammed Salah 44-goals also and Lionel Messi.
