Dyakov Names Raphinha as One of the Best Players of 2025

Former footballer Vitaliy Dyakov has highlighted FC Barcelona winger Raphinha as one of the best football players of 2025. The former FC Rostov player shared this opinion in an interview with the online publication "Euro-Football.Ru."

"Raphinha had an outstanding season that year. Yes, there were rumors about him leaving Barcelona, but the head coach changed, and so did Raphinha as a player.

He had a very successful year, finishing fifth in the Ballon d'Or voting. In my opinion, he deserved an even higher position," Dyakov said.

The 28-year-old Brazilian footballer played 39 matches across all competitions for Barcelona in 2025, scoring 20 goals. His market value is estimated at 90 million euros.

Raphinha’s contract with the Catalan club is set to expire in the summer of 2028. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
