. . .
Andriy Shevchenko recently described Luka Modric as "one of the greatest midfielders ever" and it's difficult to disagree with the AC Milan legend's appraisal.
Signed by Real Madrid in 2012 for what now looks like a paltry €30m, the Croatia international has developed into one of the finest playmakers of the modern era, a player so important to the Blancos that they are simply not the same team without the 32-year-old in the starting line-up.
Modric's influence was thrillingly exemplified in the Champions League final, a game which he took complete control of after the interval, turning a 1-1 half-time scoreline into a 4-1 rout by the time the full-time whistle blew.
A podium place in the Goal 50 is, therefore, just reward for a player who seems to be operating on a different intellectual plane to almost everyone else on the pitch.
45. Mario Mandzukic
It should not be forgotten that Juventus struggled during the first half of the 2016-17 season. It was only after a switch to a 4-2-3-1 formation in January - which pushed Mario Mandzukic onto the left wing - that the Italian champions took flight.
The Croatia international proved himself to be the ultimate team player, equally brilliant in attack and defence as Juve won a domestic double, while he also scored in both the semis and final of the Champions League.
