Why Raphinha Is Football’s Most Underrated Player in 2025
Why is Raphinha still one of the most underrated players in world football in 2025?
In this video, we break down the full story behind Raphinha’s season at FC Barcelona — from his massive numbers in the 2024/25 campaign to the ongoing lack of recognition from FIFA, FIFPro, and the Ballon d’Or rankings.
Despite delivering elite performances, leading Barcelona as a captain, and producing decisive moments in the biggest matches, Raphinha continues to be overlooked in major individual awards and symbolic XIs. We analyze his role under Hansi Flick, compare his impact to other star names, and explain why his importance goes far beyond raw statistics.
This is not just a video about numbers. It’s a story about leadership, injustice in modern football narratives, and a player shaped by struggle — from Brazil’s várzea pitches to the top of European football.
If you follow FC Barcelona, care about football analysis, or believe that some players deserve far more respect than they get, this video is for you.

Best captain in the whole of Europe for me, god I wish we had him at Liverpool to take control of things on the pitch. He wouldn't allow heads to drop and the whole team going into survival mode.
the first player since the Messi and Ronaldo era to have 60+ Goal Contributions, the amount of disrespect given to him is incredible
Raphinha had last season literally Messi & Ronaldo stats.
Such a shame from UEFA..
Yes sir chef Hansi is not wrong FIFA not appreciated Raphaël performance he is a crazy baller.
Because Leeds United add à clause if Raphinha win the balon d'or Barça must pay extra 30 millions euros
Is nice to have a manager who support the players so much 😊.
Why? Becose without stats he does nothing else,and in brazil he did nothing… In Balon d'oro and FIFA best stats are last thing you look.
International trophies
Club trophies
Eye-test
Rating
Clutch performances
And in last place stats…
If stats were most important Messi would have 15 Balon d'oro's as he was best in stats 14 Times in dribbling 12 times,in rating 16 Times and in clutch performances 14 Times.
Eye-test is much more important then stats,and eye-test Raphinha dosn't have good. Plus National team is most important
Best player is more than stats. Kvara was better than raphina because how he simplify the game. Is more than stats.
pls tag Raph ❤… this is so good
but you have bellingham and cole palmer in there ….it svery very simple to see. its done purposely
🎉❤🎉
I would agree that he is fake Brazilian and here is why – he is humble and hard working player and Brazilians are not like that. They are lazy and not humble at all in 99% of cases, Rapinha is a fighter and he will play for team while players like Vini will put himself and not care about team. And about those rewards for best players i have to say that you need to have huge marketing behind you, Brazilians are not pushing Rapinha because he is not superstar like that clown Vini and Laporta is not strong enough or connected like Perez or Al-Khelaifi to push him. Look at Palmer and Bellingham… they have average seasons and they are in all best teams and that is absurd. English players would be pushed, Real madrid players would be pushed and psg players would be pushed but this season they won CL so i cant say nothing but i would not say that Dembele was the best player on planet because he started to play in February while Rapinha, Salah and Yamal played on high level from start to end… well Salah had one weak period but Dembele had a longer bad period. Anyone that is objective will put Rapinha in front of Jude or Palmer… if Jude played for Barca they would call him a flop like they did for Vitor Roque and many other players that played for Barca and Roque did a lot more than Endrick that costed Real x2 or even more… and those attacks on Griezmann while they had mighty Hazard and Tchouameni that is just an average player. Spanish and English media are powerful, Spanish would push some players or attack some clubs and media from England will push English players and it was like that for a long time. If Rapinha played for Real or Psg last season he would won Balon'dor im 100% sure.
I LOVE BARCELONA DEEPLY ❤
Promote him. His PR team should promote. Guy's impact is outrageous
Maybe FIFA just hates Raphinha and he has to accept it ig
