Raphinha: I Have a Chance to Win the Ballon d'Or

Barcelona forward Raphinha Dias believes he has the potential to compete for the Ballon d’Or in the future. "I think I will have the opportunity to win the Ballon d’Or one day.

Football goes through different phases, and I believe I still have time to achieve many of my goals. I see finishing fifth as a source of motivation.

I am well aware of my potential," Raphinha said in an interview with GQ. This season, the 28-year-old Brazilian has played in seven matches across all competitions, scoring three goals and providing two assists.

As a reminder, Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele won the Ballon d’Or following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season.
