Ribery is close to ablity to Ronnie and Messi?
He is probably the third best winger behind those two. But he is a distant third.

Not so much mate, the lad is very very good but few people watch the bundesliga. The lad is an ace and isnt far behind Ronnie and Messi.

Anyway Ronnie and Messi are better currently but lets see next season when Bayern returns to the Champions League.

He's not that far behind those 2 in terms of natural ability. Certainly not a distant third as you would like us to believe.

It's like comparing Kaka and Ronaldinho. Kaka may not have all those fancy skills that Ronaldinho possesses, but he makes it up by playing with a more direct style and hard running that would hurt oppositions more.

And in this instance, Ribery is like Kaka, while Messi is like Ronaldinho.

I would go as far as to say that he's decision making skill is better than both Ronaldo and Messi. He's a better team player.

Ribery can't be a distant third when he is a better team player than both Messi and Ronaldo
