Bayern Munich’s Midfielder, Franck Ribery said “He’s keeping his fingers crossed” being one of the three finalists of the Ballon d’Or coming up on 13th January, 2013.

He said after the 2-3 defeat by Manchester City, “It’s good for me to be named in the three, but we’ll have to see, I’ll keep my fingers crossed.” He also added that, “I’m happy, happy for me, for the club, for my whole family. But I am a little bit sad for (Zlatan Ibrahimovic) because he’s still a great player and he has done great things with Paris Saint-Germain.”

Ribery was chosen alongside Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. We will also be keeping our fingers crossed to find out who will emerge the winner of the world’s footballer of the year award.
