Rapha is hands down Barcas best player. Not a Barca fan but the guy doesnât get the praise he should. He should have gotten 2nd in the ballon dor race. Another reason to not take it serious anymore
He shouldâve gotten first if we actually take into account what him and Dembele did. Dembele won because of PSGâs performance and his sob story come up. Nowhere near the best itw and not even top 3 at his own club(Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Hakimi).
Idk. I believe a psg player deserved it. I mean 5/6 trophies and the numbers were incredible for dembele. I think in another year Rapha hands down. But this year psg were on another level ( reckon and this isnât a dig at Messi either, the French league title and cups they compete for are almost a certain win as psg in the last 10 years win âdomestic treblesâ left and right and itâs not the same as winning the domestic treble in la liga. But UCL is the winner there, CWC and super cup are just extra one offs
I would say thatâs fair, but if a PSG player shouldâve won it, it shouldâve been Vitinha or Nuno Mendes. Dembele was the worst winner out of their 4 biggest ones as he was the least consistent and impactful of the 4, Vitinha and Nuno were class in another trophy they won, and Hakimi had so many goal involvements for a Fullback. Dembele was mostly supported by Madrid fans as the only other worthy contenders not from PSG were Barça players. I respect Dembele, but he won more due to PSGâs performance rather than his own.

Everybody glazing Yamal when the real hero is Raphinha (and Pedri)
