Barcelona has an incredible season, and that is why several of their players have been advertised as possible winners of the Ballon d'Or prize of 2025. At this stage Raphinha is considered the favorites of many people, but the will of Lamine Yamal and Pedri are also in the conversation.
The prize, which will be distributed by France later in the year, is one that always collects discussions about the possible winner. Rodri Hernandez took it home in 2024 after he eliminated Real Madrid Superstar Vinicius Junior, but this year there is a good chance that it will return to La Liga – especially with Kylian Mbappe, also among the buyers.
Lamine Yamal had his control over the issue earlier this week, and now Barcelona and Spain teammate Pau Cubarsi was also asked during his interview with Cope (via Sport). In his eyes, Raphinha is the favorite for the time being and he believes that this is the general consensus within Can Barca.
“At the moment, because of how the season goes, I would give it to Raphinha.
'But is Lamine not getting angry with this answer?
“Lamine would also say Raphinha.”
Cubarsi would also reveal that Raphinha is considered one of the leaders in the dressing room of Barcelona, where the other is another of the Captainincy team: Ronald Araujo. The Brazilian wing player has often worn the bracelet this season due to injury problems for Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Araujo and Frenkie de Jong, and it is clear that this has made him a huge influence.
Cubarsi is currently preparing for the quarter -final draw of Spain Nations League against the Netherlands, for which he is expected to be a starter due to injury problems for Aymeric Laporte and Dani Vivian.
