Monsters, Messi and Ronaldo better than me and everyone, says Robben

Thegoalmac can reveal that Arjen Robben has described Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as "monsters" and believes they are "above everyone else" in the game and says he is proud to be in the ballon d'Or list.

I so much love Robben's humility, this is what I call pure class. Continue for what Classy Robben said.
"It's great to be recognised and I'm proud to be on the shortlist, but it's never been an obsession for me and it never will be, because what I care about are team trophies," Robben told France Football.

"I don't like comparing myself to others, but you are talking about two monsters! They have succeeded for half a dozen years beyond reality. They are above everyone else."

Five of Robben's Bayern team-mates are on the shortlist - all of whom starred in Germany's World Cup winning campaign - and the 30-year-old believes it shows there are several more elite stars in the game.

"There are also other extraordinary players. There are some here at Bayern. The Germans became world champions and many of their individuals are world class."
