In a recent interview during the international break, Barcelona superstar; Raphinha has shared his views on Ballon d’Or 2025. “I try to put it aside to focus on personal objectives in my career. At the end of the season if I win all titles, the possibility of winning an individual award will be greater. But I don’t focus on the Ballon d’Or. No distractions.”
There are currently three names that are featuring in the Ballon d’Or conversation; that is Kylan Mbappe, Ousmane Dembélé and Raphinha. A month ago, Mo Salah was part of the conversation but was erased out after losing the carling cup final to New Castle and getting knocked out of the champions league by Ousmane Dembélé’s side.
Due to injuries, Vinicius Junior has not been able to put up a consistency that would make it possible for him to feature in the conversation. Kylan Mbappe believes that if Real Madrid wins their first ever treble with him; the Ballon d’Or will be something to think about. but for now like Raphinha, he is focusing on winning trophies.
