Raphinha insiste : il méritait de remporter le Ballon d’Or face à Dembélé.
Raphinha dévoile son top 3 et affirme qu'il aurait dû remporter le Ballon d'Or, provoquant la polémique après avoir manqué le top 3 la saison dernière..
Raphinha ressent encore la déception de ne pas avoir remporté le Ballon d’Or la saison dernière, surtout après ne pas avoir figuré parmi les trois premiers malgré de solides performances avec Barcelone..
Dans une récente interview, le Brésilien a exposé ce qu'il pensait réellement de toute cette histoire de Ballon d'Or..
I was disappointed,
— Raphinha
I expected more. I expected to be at least in the top 3." "I knew it would be tough to win because the Champions League carries a lot of weight. That's why I was disappointed by the position I finished.
— Raphinha
Mais il a également reconnu qu'il y avait beaucoup de choses qui échappaient à son contrôle..
I understand that there are many things that don’t depend on me. Many things that are complicated and hard to emphasize constantly. What I can say is that I’m very happy with the season I had – and no individual award will erase what I achieved last season.
— Raphinha
L'intervieweur lui a ensuite demandé comment il classerait ses 3 favoris personnels..
And what would be your top 3? If you could choose at the end of the season – you’d put yourself third, right?
— Intervieweur
Personally, I’d put myself first.
— Raphinha
Raphinha a insisté ::
Yes, I’d put myself first! Stop with this noise! If it were up to me... this is just nonsense. In my opinion, an individual award can’t be based on a single tournament. On that basis, I think I deserved to be first because of what I showed throughout the season, the titles I won, the numbers I posted, and everything I gave on the pitch. I think I deserved to win. Since the award basically focuses on one competition, Dembélé deserved to win it, especially since he had an impressive season too. Lamine also had a great season. But in my opinion, if you look at the whole season, I think I deserved the award.
— Raphinha
Interrogé sur les autres personnes qui figureraient dans son top 3, Raphinha a répondu ::
I’ll back my team. I’d put Lamine and Pedri.
— Raphinha
Okay. Pedri is third? So Dembélé is fourth, right?
— Intervieweur
Fourth. Okay, fair enough.
— Raphinha
Au final, Ousmane Dembélé, du Paris Saint-Germain, a remporté le Ballon d’Or 2025 ainsi que le prix FIFA The Best..
