Brazilian star Raphinha did not receive even a single first-place vote despite a stellar season. Fans couldn’t believe the results!
Raphinha was brilliant as a scorer and playmaker in Europe, yet his efforts were overlooked in the voting
Vitinha topped with 6 first-place votes, Salah got 4, and Hakimi 3. Even Mbappé, Kvaratskhelia, and McTominay picked up one each
The only Brazilian journalist on the panel ranked Raphinha second, just behind teenager Lamine Yamal, shocking fans even more
Dembele finished with 1,380 points, ahead of Yamal on 1,059. Raphinha was left far behind in the rankings
Adding to the snub, Barcelona confirmed Raphinha will miss three weeks with a hamstring injury suffered vs Real Oviedo
