«Breaking News» Ramos says Modric deserves to win Best FIFA award ahead of Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is in the running to win his third The Best FIFA Men's Player award in a row, but it seems that Sergio Ramos thinks that would be an undeserved accolade.

Ramos appeared to take a swipe at his former Real Madrid team-mate, who joined Juventus this summer, in comments regarding the award. He said that his current team-mate Luka Modric is the most deserving player to win the prestigious title ahead of the remaining finalists, Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah. 

But Ramos mentioned, in particular, a player with 'more marketing' than Modric who did not deserve to win.

Cristiano Ronaldo has won both The Best FIFA Men's Player awards so far

Sergio Ramos says Real Madrid team-mate Modric deserves to win the award more than anyone else - including Ronaldo, who left the Bernabeu to join Juventus in the summer

'There are few players that I am as proud of having in my team as [Modric],' said Ramos , according to ESPN. 'He is a great friend and a great player. He is one of the few players who [if he wins] would make me as happy as if they had given it to me.'

However, Ramos didn't leave it at just praising who he thinks is the better player. 

'Maybe there are players with more marketing, with a bigger name but Modric deserves that award,' he said.

The Real Madrid defender was reportedly asked whether these comments were made about anyone in particular. Although he said that they were not, there can be little doubt about who he was referring to.

The Best FIFA awards, and previously the Ballon d'Or, have been dominated by Ronaldo and Lionel Messi over the past decade, but it seems Modric has the best chance of taking the prize.

He won the Golden Ball at the 2018 World Cup where he captained Croatia to second place, and was also recently named UEFA Men's Player of the Year. Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes called the result 'ridiculous,' saying the award should've gone to his client instead.

Modric is hopeful after winning the World Cup Golden Ball and UEFA Men's Player of the Year

'I will not answer Mendes,' Ramos reportedly said when asked about the comments. 'Everyone has his opinion. It is respectable. Flattery and criticism are always in our profession. Everyone can say what they want but in my opinion the prize to Modric is very well deserved.' 

Of course, Ronaldo had an excellent year of his own, winning the Champions League with Real Madrid alongside Modric, scoring 44 goals in all competitions for his club, and four goals for Portugal at the World Cup. However, he hasn't had quite as prolific a start to this season for his new club Juventus.

Their other opponent is Salah, who helped Liverpool to the Champions League final, while setting a new scoring record in the Premier League with 32 goals.

The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony will take place in London on September 24.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
