Official: Modric nominated for 2025 World XI award - the first Milan feature in four years
"Modric's class is known, and any more awards are not needed to prove it. No awards are really needed, but the proof provided by things like a Ballon d'Or and the six Champions League titles, perhaps. Modric among the elite Last year, many suggested that the Croatian midfielder was slowing down, but he was still a large part of the Real Madrid midfield."
"In fact, he is looking as good as he ever was in Serie A, with some even suggesting that he looks more like a 20-year-old than someone who has passed his 40th birthday. Today, as MilanNews relays, he was named as a nominee for the FIFPro World XI, a chance for the world's players to vote for their 'best team of the year'."
Luka Modric, currently at AC Milan, was named in the World XI shortlist for 2025. His career includes a Ballon d'Or and six Champions League titles that attest to his quality. Last year there were suggestions of slowing down, yet he remained a significant part of Real Madrid's midfield before joining Milan. He is performing strongly in Serie A and has drawn comparisons to a much younger player despite being over 40. The World XI nomination marks the first Rossoneri inclusion since Gianluigi Donnarumma in 2021. A selection to the team would be Milan's first since Andrea Pirlo in 2006.
