    Fifa's Best Women's Award winner Marta speaking to BBC Sport: "This means so much. It is not only about Marta but it is about my teammates and women's football.

    "It is amazing. For me, it is most important to see women's soccer grow up each year. If I keep doing well and that can help outside of the field too then I am happy.

    "This is a big motivation to keep working hard. When you have an opportunity to play in a very important tournament you want to win.

    "The game is getting stronger and stronger. It is good because it is positive and more interesting."

    Phibes: It's about time we introduced VAR for these awards, some shocking decisions here.

    Matthew: Hazard over Salah? I'm thinking Salah might have just edged it last season...

    Davestwin: No offense to Marta who is a great player but Sam Kerr wasn't even nominated and had dominated league and international play.

    The last time neither Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi did not win the Men's Best or Ballon d'or award was back in 2007 when Kaka claimed the title.

    Marta, this year's women's award winner, took home the accolade in that year too! She also won it in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 before tonight's victory.

    Chelsea_MKM: The man who does his talking on the pitch. Congratulations LukaKU Modric.

    Ope: Surely the World Cup was never considered in handing the no.1 jersey to De Gea! Salah's omission is a step backwards and Kante's two steps forward. Fair deal!

    Will Nicholls: So let me get this straight, 100 points last season, dominated the Premier League, multiple records broken, and yet 0 Man City players in the FIFA Team of the Year.

  17. 'Modric was the leader'published at 21:04 British Summer Time 24 September 2018

    Germany manager Joachim Low speaking to BBC Sport before the awards were announced: "All the players who are nominated are very, very good. For me, this time Luka Modric was the best player in the last months.

    "He was the leader in this amazing Croatian team. They reached the final [in the World Cup] nobody expected that.

    "He did a great job and was really professional for Real Madrid. He was playing all the time at a high level. I would say this time he was the best."

    Luka Modric: "It is a great honour and a beautiful feeling to stand here with this amazing trophy. First of all I would like to congratulate Mohamed and Cristiano.

    "I am sure in the future you will have another opportunity to fight for this trophy.

    "This award is not just mine. It is my teammates from Real Madrid and Croatia. Without my coaches I would not have won this. Without my family I would not be the player I am today.

    "Thanks to my fans for all the great support and love they are showing me. It means a lot. Thanks to those who voted for me.

    "I would just like to mention my footballing idol and former 1998 Croatia captain. He was my big inspiration and that team gave us belief we could create something in Russia.

    "This award shows that we can all become the best with hard work and dedication. All your dreams can come true."
