Undeserved setback... Raphinha finishes only 5th in the list of the season's best players

The Barcelona midfielder missed out on the top 3 best players in the world.

Details: According to the results of the voting for the world's best player of the past season, 28-year-old Barcelona winger Raphinha finished only in 5th place.

Bookmakers and the media had rated the player much higher before the results were announced. Some even suggested that Raphinha could become the surprise Ballon d'Or winner, but in the end, it turned out to be a disappointment.

Last season, Raphinha played 57 matches for Barcelona, scoring 34 goals and providing 25 assists, earning him the title of one of the Catalan giant's top players.
