Raphinha (28 years old) is not hiding his frustration. Speaking to the media before Tuesday night's clash against Chelsea, the Brazilian from FC Barcelona declared: " You journalists should give me some explanations... I deserved much more. I felt underestimated, yes. As a team, we missed out on the Champions League. I don't control individual awards ," he said.
According to him, his season was nonetheless " spectacular ," and he believes his performances speak for themselves: " For me, that's enough. " And the numbers seem to bear him out. During the 2024-2025 season, Raphinha played 57 matches in all competitions, scoring 34 goals and providing 26 assists, including a hat-trick for FC Barcelona. The Brazilian's frustration is understandable, given that he was named to the Champions League Team of the Season, La Liga Player of the Season for 2024/2025, and finished 5th in the 2025 Ballon d'Or voting.
