Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric admits he'd like to win the Ballon d'Or.

Modric is being mentioned as among the candidates for the gong.

He said, "I am proud to hear this praise. If it happens to me, all the better.

"I would like to win the Ballon d'Or, but that does not obsess me. I do not think about it every day.

"For me, the most important thing is to think about how to help the team."
