UEFA Best Player: Del Piero chooses who should win award between Ronaldo, Modric

Juventus legend, Alessandro Del Piero has said that Real Madrid midfielder, Luka Modric deserved the 2018 UEFA’s Men Best Player award ahead of Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Modric, last week Thursday won UEFA’s Men’s Player of the Year ahead of Ronaldo and Salah.

According to Del Piero, Modric deserved the award because the Croatia captain did something extraordinary in Madrid and in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

He, however, criticised Ronaldo’s decision not to attend the awards ceremony in Monaco but said that Modric deserved to be the Europe Best Player.

“I understand Cristiano but Modric deserved the award,” Del Piero told Sky Italia.

“Modric did something extraordinary in Madrid and in the World Cup, so the prize was well deserved. But Cristiano also had a wonderful season.

“I would also get angry in [Ronaldo’s] place, but not going to the gala is something else.”
