Ribery best in Europe, says Messi

The 26-year-old admits that the France international was a worthy winner of the one of the continent's most prestigious individual honours
Barcelonastar Lionel Messi has conceded that Bayern Munich ace Franck Ribery deserved to win Uefa's Best Player in Europe award.
The Argentine and Cristiano Ronaldo were pipped to the award at a Uefa ceremony in Monaco in August and the 26-year-old says Ribery's treble success with Bayern Munich meant the right man walked away with the prize.
"It was an honour to be in this race again, among the best three players in Europe," he toldUefa.
"There are so many great players in the world and it is a real pleasure to be in the competition, but he [Ribery] deserved to win the trophy."
