Raphinha Reacts to FIFA World XI Snub

Barcelona and Brazil winger Raphinha commented on the results of the FIFA FIFPRO World 11 voting for 2025.

Raphinha was quoted as saying by El Desmarque
I don't care.

On December 16 in Doha, Qatar, FIFA announced the 2025 World XI, which did not include the 29-year-old Brazilian.

Only Spanish midfielder Pedri represented Barcelona in the lineup, while the highest representation came from the reigning UEFA Champions League winners, PSG, with six players. Among them was Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who recently transferred from the Parisian club to Manchester City.

Raphinha has played for Barcelona since July 2022. Last season, he made 57 appearances across all competitions, scoring 34 goals and providing 25 assists, helping the Catalan club secure a domestic treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.

Previously, the Blaugrana winger admitted he disagreed with the 2025 Ballon d'Or results, where PSG’s Ousmane Dembele was named the winner.
