They are remarkable but I don't feel they will dominate the vote this time, as they didn't produce the magic you would expect from them in the latter stages of the Champions League.
They are Treble winners and Ribery won UEFA's Best Player award after Bayern lifted the Champions League. Their 7-0 two-leg annihilation of Barcelona should also stand for something.
However, I would like a defender to win it for the first time since Fabio Cannavaro in 2006.
Step forward Philipp Lahm. He captained the Treble winners, broke through the 100-cap mark for Germany this year and is the best full back in the world.
More recently he has stepped into central midfield and played with such panache it appeared he had been in that role all his life.
At 29 he is operating at the peak of his powers. There would be no more deserving winner.
