Bayern`s Ribery wins UEFA best player award

It was recognition for his part in Bayern`s unprecedented Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup treble.
The Frenchman was the first player from a club other than Barcelona or Real Madrid to make the final three since the award was established by European soccer`s governing body in 2011.
Argentina`s Messi won the inaugural award followed by Spaniard Andres Iniesta, his Barcelona team mate, last year.
Messi and Real Madrid`s Portugal forward Ronaldo had also both made the last three in each of the two previous years.

This to me is daylight robbery. Why would they give an individual award to somebody because his team won a treble?
An individual award should be based solely on your individual exploits on the pitch and should not necessarily be based on whether your team wins or not.
For example, you are not going to deprive the highest goal scorer his award because his team was relegated are you? That is what an individual award should be about; Messi should have won with Ronaldo coming second, FIFA, check yourselves... I rest my case
