For the first time since the hazy days of 2007, neither Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi have got their mitts on the coveted Ballon d'Or, according to leaked reports.
The superstar duo have dominated the award, with five wins apiece over the last 10 years, however now is the time of Luka Modric to enjoy his moment in the spotlight with the Croatian all set to win the accolade this time around, if rumours are to be believed - scroll down for the leaked image of the top-30.
If so, then it's well deserved. He once again lifted the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid, while he went on to skipper Croatia to their first ever World Cup final, where they just fell short to France.

Neymar finished 12th, his first time out of the top-10 since 2012.
