      Croatia may have lost their first attempt to become World Champions last Sunday against France, but this Balkan team will be fondly remembered - particularly captain Luka Modric. 

      Besides leaving Russia with a runner-ups medal, the 32-year-old Real Madrid midfielder also grabbed the competition's Golden Ball - awarded to the Best Player at the World Cup.

       

       

      In existence since 1982, the Golden Ball has previously been handed to the likes of Maradona, Romário, Messi and Zidane...not bad company to keep!
