Raphinha believes he still has a chance to win the Ballon d’Or
At the most recent Ballon d’Or ceremony, Barcelona winger Raphinha finished fifth, but he is not disappointed and believes he still has a shot at victory.
Details: Raphinha himself stated that he will have another opportunity to win the Ballon d’Or. He explains this by pointing out that football is full of cycles.
Quote: “I think in the future I will have a chance to win the Ballon d’Or. Football is full of cycles, and I believe I have many years ahead to achieve new goals. I see fifth place as motivation, not pressure. I know my potential,” he told GQ.
Recently, we reported that Barcelona president Joan Laporta admitted he neither regrets nor feels sad about Messi’s departure. According to Laporta, there is no conflict between him and Leo, but a return while he remains president is impossible.
Reminder: Lionel Messi personally approached the club’s management to make this visit happen.
