Franck Ribery has reiterated his belief that he deserves the FIFA Ballon d’Or, but says he will be happy even if he does not win it.
The Frenchman is one of the 2013 edition of the award’s finalists, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and is seen alongside Real Madrid’s Portuguese forward as in contention to win.
“If I win it or not, I will remain just as happy,” Ribery remarked today at the Dubai International Sports Conference.
“It is a great pleasure for me to be among the three finalists with Cristiano and Messi. This year Bayern has won everything and I think that I have done enough with these achievements, but we will see.
“On January 13 we will have the decision. For me, what is important now is that the team maintains this run of success and titles.
“We are the strongest club in the world right now. We have fun when we play, that’s most important. We are a big family.”
