The announcement of the 2025 Ballon d’Or results did not leave Neymar, the former Seleção star, unmoved. Shocked by his compatriot Raphinha’s fifth-place finish, he voiced his disbelief.
According to Neymar, the performances of the FC Barcelona winger deserved a much higher ranking.Last season, Raphinha posted impressive stats: 34 goals and 25 assists in 57 matches, propelling Barça to a domestic treble and a place in the Champions League semi-finals.

Neymar slams Raphinha’s 5th-place finish
On social media, Neymar was unequivocal: “Raphinha fifth? That’s a bad joke!” He firmly believes his countryman should have finished much higher.It’s worth noting that despite a glittering career with titles at Santos, BarΓ§a and Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar has never won the Ballon d’Or. His best placing remains third, achieved in 2015 and 2017.
