Who hasn't gotten over the 2013 Ballon d'Or award thing? Everyone in the
world except Bayern Munich Star, Franck Ribery and he has decided not
to bottle up his feelings. According to him, losing to Real Madrid's
Cristiano Ronaldo was robbery and the extension of the voting deadline a
political decision.
"I
won everything I could win with Bayern and individually. Ronaldo on the
other hand did not win anything. I am not sad that I missed out, but it
does hurt a bit. I deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. It was clear that
Ronaldo would win it. The voting deadline was extended by two weeks.
This had never happened before. It wasn't about football. It was a
political decision. There are only three Bayern players in [the FIFPro
team of the year]. That's madness.
