Ribery, Lewandowski and the Ballon d'Or When Bayern Munich was twice wronged

German Thomas Muller, Ribery's team-mate and Poland's Robert Lewandowski, insulted the Bavarian team's surgeon with a statement saying, "What happened yesterday (last Monday) in the Ballon d'Or is disappointing, similar to what happened with Ribery in 2013. This pushes me to do everything in my power to return the Champions League to the Champions League. Munich. We have the opportunity to do that and the start will be next Wednesday against Barcelona."

Messi, who won the award in 2021, had asked France Football, which presents the award, to award the 2020 prize to Lewandowski, who won second place at Monday's ceremony.
