Barcelona forward Raphinha has expressed his gratitude for being nominated for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, considering it a victory in itself. The Brazilian player had an outstanding season with Barcelona, scoring 34 goals and providing 24 assists across all competitions.
Despite being named La Liga's best player, Raphinha remains focused on improving and setting new goals for himself. His Barcelona teammate, Marcus Rashford, has praised his talent, while former star Pedro Miguel Pauleta believes that any of the nine players nominated for the prestigious award could win it.
Despite being considered an underdog, Raphinha remains determined to continue his success on the field. The Ballon d'Or winner will be announced soon, with many speculating that Ousmane will be the favorite to win.
