Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery has laid a remarkable claim to the prestigious FIFA award for best player in the world, suggesting that he deserves to beat the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar to the 2013 title.

The France international says he expects to land the prominent prize for his part in Bayern Munich's most recent successful campaign, which saw the UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup trophies head to the Allianz Arena.
