Franck Ribery has reflected on the 2013 Ballon d'Or ceremony.

"It was a perfect year. I couldn’t have achieved more. That Ballon d'Or will always remain an injustice. I'm still looking for answers. I'll never understand why the voting was delayed by more than two weeks.

"Messi and Ronaldo always showed me respect. They knew I was on the same level as them. To put it modestly, in 2013, I had nothing to envy them for," said the former Bayern player.
