France’s Franck Ribery says only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi seem capable of winning the Ballon d’Or and has voiced his frustration after Bayern Munich team-mate Manuel Neuer missed out. Portugal’s superstar Ronaldo won the prestigious award for the second year running earlier this month in Zurich with Messi second and goalkeeper Neuer third. Much to his frustrations, Ribery missed out on scooping the 2013 title, also finishing third behind the superstar pair despite strong displays in helping Bayern win that year’s Champions League title. The Frenchman questions whether it is even worth a Bayern Munich player even bothering to attend the gala award ceremony in the future. Between them, Ronaldo and Messi have won the award for the last seven years and Ribery questioned what more Neuer could have done to dethrone them after winning the World Cup with Germany.
