Luka Modric named best male player and Marta best female player at Fifa awards

The Real Madrid midfielder, 33, beat previous colleague Cristiano Ronaldo, now with Juventus, and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah to the honor.

Modric won his third Champions League title in succession in May and guided Croatia to their first World Cup last in July.

Brazil and Orlando Pride forward Marta won the best female player grant.

France's Didier Deschamps - whose side beat Modric's Croatia 4-2 in the World Cup last - was named best men's mentor.

Salah got the Puskas grant for the best objective, for his exertion against Everton in the Premier League at Anfield last December.
