"The fact that Arjen Robben failed to make the top three was 'a shame'," declared two-time Ballon d'Or winner Rummenigge, as quoted by the Mirror.
"It's barely possible to play better than he has in the last year and a half."
While Rummenigge believes Robben, who helped his side to a German double and led the Netherlands to a third place at the World Cup, had done enough to be shortlisted, the Bayern boss was happy that Neuer made the final cut.
"I'm really delighted for Manuel," he added.
"He put in some outstanding performances at the World Cup, and also in the Champions League and Bundesliga, and he's won things."
Robben, along with teammates Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski, was included in the forward's category for the FIFA FIFPro World XI.
