The Frenchman still can't believe how that year's prestigious award went to Cristiano Ronaldo, while he and Bayern had won all possible trophies, starting from Germany's Cup, Bundesligla and the Champions League.

The 34-year-old finds the winner's selection meaningless and feels that trophy was stolen.

I felt like someone stole my Golden Ball”, Ribery said, broadcast the KP.

It's not understood. I won every possible trophy that year, I don't know what I had to do the most. It was so unfair”

My country hasn't even supported me. I've seen a lot of cases when the French themselves said Cristiano should win”.

Has any Portuguese said that Ribery or Mess should be declared winners? Of course not”, the footballer stressed.

Ribery even finished third that year, even after Ronaldo.
