During Xavi’s era, Raphina was primarily a right winger. Then Lamine Yamal exploded onto the scene, and Raphinha sacrificed his preferred position to move to the left. Barcelona were close to signing Nico Williams, but the deal collapsed. Suddenly, Raphinha was the main option again. A lot of fans weren’t convinced. They questioned whether he could really be relied on. Raphinha didn’t complain. He worked harder, stayed confident and answered everything on the pitch. That season, he finished with more goals and assists than the “Nico Williams” many people wanted instead. Fast forward to this season. The Julián Álvarez deal isn’t happening because Atlético refuse to negotiate. Raphinha has now stepped up again, making it clear he’s ready to play striker and have been impressive in the role . At this point, Raphinha isn’t just a player for us. He’s already a Barcelona legend. Visca Barça.

After the pressure from his coach and teammates he forcefully retired 😏

Anticipating this match

Give us Villa (Eston)

Funny enough, Barcelona seems to be the only team Manchester United can somehow beat.

Over beaten Man U against unbeaten Roma at Old trafford

Losing to PSG and Real Madrid now might be a blessing in disguise. 💔🔵🔴 I’d rather we learn our lessons now than suffer the same pain against Atlético Madrid or Inter Milan when the trophies are on the line. We all know our defence is a problem, but our attack is also letting us down by wasting chances. You can’t expect to beat the biggest teams when you keep making mistakes at the back and fail to take your chances up front. Hansi Flick, the ball is in your court now. These two defeats have shown us what needs to change. We believe in this team, but we need to see a reaction. Flick, show us you’ve learned from these losses. We’re waiting for the comeback.

Losing the Ballon d’Or and major sponsorship deals in the same week. 💔 Imagine the mental pressure on Kylian Mbappe. The world admires superstars, but nobody knows what they might be dealing with behind closed doors. Even the biggest stars are human too 💔

This is the most relatable content ever 😭

You saw Modric there first so obviously you should know he’s not talking about where they won it

The Ballon d’Or needs two new awards: Best Defender of the Year and Best Midfielder of the Year. 🏆 We have the Gerd Müller Trophy for strikers and the Yashin Trophy for goalkeepers. Why should defenders and midfielders be left without awards of their own? Pau Cubarsí deserved more recognition yesterday. He played every minute of Spain’s World Cup-winning campaign, helped his country concede just ONE goal, and delivered outstanding performances at just 19. Goals win headlines, but defending wins games . It’s time the Ballon d’Or recognised the players who protect the goal and control the game, not just those who score. 🔵🔴@ballondor #BallonDor #cubarsi #football

Reactions after being thrown out

Harry Kane left Tottenham in 2023 with ZERO trophies after scoring 280 goals for the club. Three years later, he’s a Bundesliga champion, a German Cup winner and a Ballon d’Or winner. 🏆 The lesson? Never let loyalty become a prison. Sometimes, you have to leave a place you love to become the person you were always meant to be. 👑

For me you’re the winner of the award after an impressive season and being a world champion.

The only happy Barcelona fan tonight will be @ultimate_kombo

Mbappé missing out on the Ballon d’Or proves one thing: reputation alone isn’t enough to win it. But Lamine Yamal winning the Kopa Trophy again while missing out on football’s biggest individual prize would raise serious questions. La Liga champion. World Cup winner. One of the best players in the world, yet still waiting for the ultimate recognition. How much more must Lamine do before the Ballon d’Or voters give him his flowers? 🔵🔴🏆

Harry Kane wins the Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career! 🏆🇫🇷 A dream finally becomes reality. After years of waiting, Kane reaches the top of world football! 👑🔥

Ronaldo Nazario is presenting The BalonDior Did you think what im thinking 🤔

Alexa Putellas wins the woman Balon Dior

After Kane Gerard muller win I’m more convinced that Fabrizio must’ve lowkey leaked the Balon Dior winner .
