After FIFA announced the 2025 FIFA FIFPro Men's Best XI, the wife of Barcelona winger Raphinha expressed her dissatisfaction on social media, posting multiple updates in succession.
In her latest post, she reposted a poster of Raphinha produced by Brazilian media, which directly reads "Unfairly Treated" and points out Raphinha's exclusion from the annual Best XI and related selections.
Additionally, as the relevant discussion continues to escalate, Raphinha himself updated his personal social media. He posted a photo of himself wearing a Barcelona jersey without any accompanying text. So far, Raphinha has not made a direct response to the FIFA Best XI selection result.
According to the lineup announced by FIFA, the attack is led by Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal, the midfield includes Pedri, Vitinha, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer, the defense consists of Nuno Mendes, Virgil van Dijk, Pacho and Achraf Hakimi, and the goalkeeper position is occupied by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
In the 2024-25 season, Raphinha played an important role in Barcelona's offensive system, making stable appearances in various competitions, contributing multiple goals and assists, helping Barcelona win the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España treble, and reaching the Champions League semi-finals. However, he still failed to make the list in the end, which also triggered discussions among some fans about the selection criteria.
