* *Modric equals Suker with Croatian Footballer of the Year win*
Real Madrid star Luka Modric has been named Croatian Footballer of the Year for a record-equalling sixth time, pulling level with the great Davor Suker.
Modric will lead his nation at this year's World Cup, having skippered their play-off victory over Greece and scored the opening goal in their 4-1 first-leg win.
The playmaker remains a mainstay of Real Madrid's team, helping them to a LaLiga and Champions League double in 2017. Modric was also named Player of the Tournament as Zinedine Zidane's side won the Club World Cup in December.
The 32-year-old has made 12 LaLiga appearances thus far this season, with Real fourth in the Spanish top-flight, 14 points behind leaders Barcelona.
