Two seasons ago while Robben was having the best season of his life with Bayern, it would have not be difficult to point out that Robben was a better player. But however we must also remember that until the arrival of Van Gaal thesame season that Robben arrived in Bayern everyone had thought Ribery was a better player, Madrid were willing to Buy Ribery at any cost and accept any bid that comes in for Robben, Bayern Legend Hitzfield was of the opinion that Ribery was a better player.

However under Van Gaal Robben was enjoying his football and Ribery was having hard time playing under the tyranny of that Dutchbag, so many if not all Bayern fans had accepted that Robben was a far better than Ribery, however after the departure of Van Gaal Ribery said that his beginning to enjoy his football again and as we can see his been in top form again.

and now I beginning to understand how a manger can help some players improve and enjoy their football and how some other mangers can damaged their career, and now I am starting to reconsider that maybe there isn't too much difference between these two best wingers in the world(If you dont consider Ronaldo and Messi as wingers).

In general Franck Ribery is not as decisive as Robben in front of goal but he works better distributing the ball, team play, creativity, and eventually attacking and shaking off defense but Robben on the other hand has great dribbling speed with the ball but his sometimes a little too selfish and many opportunities are missed because he holds on to the ball too long. he has great footwork but sometimes forgets that he might have another player wide open to have a clear shot at goal than he does.

Conclusion: Surprisely King Bilah came out ontop

Ribéry is very good at assisting, too. I aleways liked Ribéry better than Robben for his value to the team. Robben is a possibly decisive player, but he is usually too selfish.

Ribery>>> Robben, he always has impact on the game

You could have said the same about Robben back in 09 form. He decided so many games by himself it was silly.

So let's just say they're both gods and I can't wait for Robben to get back in form.

Yea, i think of Robben more like Ronaldo and Ribery more like Messi. If you want the guy whose gonna take on a a few defenders by himself, then cut in and rocket a shot from 20 yards, then Robben/Ronaldo is your guy. If you want a guy who will take on a few defenders, using not only dribbling but also one-twos with his teammates, and then get into the box and can assist or score, then you want Ribery/Messi. Overall, id say Robben on form is slightly better. Actually, id say Robben on form is on the same level as Ronaldo (maybe even better), second only to Messi. Ribery is an elite world class player too though, up there with them also.

Robben on form is better than Messi same as Ribery on form
