The Ballon d’Or organizers have come under fire from Santos forward Neymar for Barcelona winger Raphinha’s fifth-place performance in the 2025 competition.
Regarding the 2025 Ballon d’Or standings, the 33-year-old expressed his opinions clearly, referring to Raphinha’s fifth-place finish as “a huge joke.” Remember how on Monday night, Ousmane Dembele defeated Lamine Yamal to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or?
However, Raphinha came in fifth place, behind players like Mohamed Salah, Dembele, Yamal, and Vitinha.
However, Raphinha’s ultimate placement in the 2025 Ballon d’Or rankings did not impress Neymar.
The former Paris Saint-Germain player vented his annoyance on social media on Monday night, calling his fellow Brazilian’s stance “a huge joke.”
