Former France national team and Bayern Munich player Frank Riberi stated that he deserved to win the 'Ballon d'Or' in 2013.
"I had a perfect season, it was impossible to play better. The result of that 'Ballon d'Or' was unfair. Messi and Ronaldo knew that I played at their level. I have great respect for them, but that year they were not better than me," Riberi's words were quoted by L'Équipe.
It is worth noting that in the final voting for the 'Ballon d'Or', Riberi finished in third place. Lionel Messi took second place, and the award winner was Cristiano Ronaldo
