IVAN RAKITIC | A second successive Goal 50 selection for Ivan Rakitic, who has ensured that the departure of the iconic Xavi has barely been felt at Barcelona. The Croatian has formed a brilliant midfield trio with Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, even bagging the opener in the Champions League final win over Juventus.




LUKA MODRIC | The last 12 months have proved just how important Luka Modric is to Real Madrid's success. Before the central midfielder was struck down by injury in the early months of 2015, los Blancos were cruising towards more domestic and continental titles. Without arguably their best player of the season up until that point, they finished the term trophyless but at least the Croat can take some consolation in a return to The Goal 50 for the first time since 2011.
