During the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony, Franck Ribéry was crowned “Best player of the season.” The Frenchman, who achieved a remarkable feat with Bayern Munich last season by securing the Cup-Championship-Champions League treble, outshone football superstars Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.
Expressing his gratitude, Ribéry stated, “It’s always nice to win this trophy. It’s a special time to be here. I thank the Bayern leaders.” The award recognizes Ribéry’s exceptional contributions to Bayern Munich’s successful campaign in the 2012-2013 season.
