Bayern Munich star, Franck Ribery, thinks he was robbed by Cristiano Ronaldo when the Portugal international won the Ballon d'Or ahead of Ribery at the end of 2013.





Both the superstars had a terrific season, but the Portugal international pipped Franck Ribery and Lionel Messi to claim his second Golden Ball, ending Lionel Messi's four-year dominance.





Ribery thinks he should have won the award on the night, and after winning five trophies that season including the Champions League we can't really blame him for being optimistic.

Ronaldo didn't win trophies that season but ended up as Europe's leading scorer which was pivotal in the end.





"2013 Balon d'Or? They robbed me," Ribery told Mundo Deportivo, quoted Express.





"It's incredible since I had a big year and won a ton of trophies. I gave it my all and I think that I deserved that Ballon d'Or. It wasn't fair. France Football? I did not have my own country behind me."

"I saw it with my own eyes as the French said that Cristiano Ronaldo had to win after his performance against Sweden. Did anyone want me or Messi to win the award? Of course not...."





Ronaldo recently claimed his ​5th Ballon d'Or, equalling Lionel Messi's record. However, the 32-year-old has lost his footing this season and have only scored 4 goals in the league.
