The media thrives on drama and big names. They focus on narratives instead of reality, often ignoring the players who quietly put in the work and dominate on the pitch.
Raphinha? He’s an absolute beast! If we’re being honest, he deserves the **Ballon d’Or** more than anyone else this year. Just look at the numbers — goals, assists, dribbles, pace, vision. This guy is on another level. He’s **clearly outperforming both Dembélé and Yamal** across the board, yet the headlines keep chasing controversy and potential instead of performance.
I’ve seen this play out before. Back in my day, it was Beckham and Giggs who dominated the press — but who was really electrifying the stadiums? The media wanted entertainment; **the Ballon d’Or should be about excellence**. It belongs to the best, to those who deliver consistently and rise above.
Raphinha is *that* player this season. Dembélé? Immensely talented, but inconsistent. Yamal? A phenomenal future ahead, no doubt — but the Ballon d’Or is about the *present* and what you’ve accomplished.
Let the media chase their headlines. The reality is clear for anyone watching: **Raphinha is the king this season.** If the Ballon d’Or truly goes to the best footballer, there should be no debate — **he’s the one who deserves it.**”
