Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Mohamed Salah are the finalists for Best Fifa Men's Player award for 2018. Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, missed out on a place in the top three. There was also no place for any member of France's World Cup winning squad.The awards are separate to the Ballon d'Or, after world football's governing body ended its association with that honour in 2016.
A panel of Fifa legends and experts drew up 10-man shortlists for each award and a jury consisting of national team captains, coaches, selected journalists and fans choose the winner, each group accounting for 25% of the vote.
Ronaldo's overhead kick against Juventus and Gareth Bale's overhead kick against Liverpool in the Champions League final are among the 10 nominees for the Puskas award for best goal, which is voted for by the fans. The winners will be announced on 24 September
at Royal Festival Hall in London.GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

See Messi fans complaining but when Messi was dubiously awarded that title in 2010 when he didn't deserve it you all applauded corrupt FIFA under Blatter.... that clear hypocrisy
