Luka Modric insisted he was not obsessed with possibly winning the Best FIFA Men's Player award as he lamented Croatia's performance against Spain.
Having led his nation to the World Cup final after a Champions League-winning campaign with Real Madrid, Modric was nominated for the award alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah.
The 33-year-old midfielder is considered a huge chance of claiming the honour, but Modric said it was not his focus.
"For me, the important thing is the collective, winning the prize is not what obsesses me the most," he said after Croatia's 6-0 loss to Spain on Tuesday.
"If I do not win it, nothing happens."
