Franck Ribéry did not win the Ballon d’Or for 2013, with Cristiano Ronaldo securing the top spot. Despite a successful season with Bayern Munich, winning multiple titles including the Champions League, Bundesliga, and Club World Cup, Ribéry fell short in the Ballon d’Or race.
His agent, Jean-Pierre Bernès, expressed confidence in Ribéry’s candidacy, emphasizing his achievements both individually and collectively. The disappointment was evident as Ribéry, who once dreamed of winning the prestigious award, saw it slip away.
It’s worth noting that the voting results, as decided by FIFA and France Football, sometimes lead to varying opinions, and the competition for the Ballon d’Or can be highly competitive. Regardless, the outcome reflected Cristiano Ronaldo’s exceptional performances in 2013.
