He was voted UEFA Best Player In Europe last week.
I have never seen Ribery have a good 90 minutes. Very rarely have I seen him produce a moment of magic. Obviously I only see the big matches on TV, but the best player in Europe should surely be producing match winning performances in the big games? Messi and Ronaldo win big games almost by themselves.
The most shocking thing for me is that Ribery won the award by such a wide margin, 36 votes to Messi's 14, with Ronaldo back on just 3.
I'm assuming only players in the Champions League were eligible, otherwise Bale would have at least had a few votes?
