Mbappe, Modric on best-player award list
Print Edition
World Cup stars Kylian Mbappe and Luka Modric will lead the challenge against a decade-long dominance of FIFA鈥檚 best player award by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Mbappe, the teenage star of France鈥檚 World Cup-winning team, and Modric, the Croatia captain who was named the tournament鈥檚 best player, joined five-time winners Ronaldo and Messi among 10 candidates announced by FIFA yesterday.
For the first time, FIFA has opened voting within days of the World Cup, where Ronaldo and Messi both exited in the round of 16.
France also has Antoine Griezmann and Raphael Varane, who won a third straight UEFA Champions League title alongside Modric and Ronaldo with Real Madrid, on the FIFA list.
Varane is the only defender selected by a FIFA expert panel which did not pick Brazil star Neymar. The 13-man panel included three Brazilians.
Belgium, which lost to France in the semifinals, has Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard on the shortlist.
It is completed by World Cup golden boot winner Harry Kane of England and Mohamed Salah, the Egypt forward who was inspirational in Liverpool鈥檚 run to the UCL final. The winners will be announced in London on September 24 .
