Neymar mocks Raphinha's Ballon d'Or ranking
The Brazilian Neymar Junior, a player for the Brazilian team Santos, mocked his compatriot Raphinha, a player for Barcelona, for finishing fifth in the 2025 Ballon d'Or rankings.
Neymar wrote in a post on Instagram: "Raphinha in fifth place... that's a ridiculous joke," and followed it with a mocking emoji.
The Brazilian star had an outstanding season in the Barcelona jersey, but his ranking did not reflect the impressive performance he had last season, according to Neymar.
It is worth noting that Frenchman Ousmane Dembélé was awarded the Ballon d'Or for 2025, surpassing Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who finished in second place.
