Another discussion around the Blaugrana’s number 11: after the brace against Osasuna, the Brazilian winger remained out of the FIFA awards and his wife Natalia Belloli didn’t take it well
Raphinha continues to be inexplicably ignored from mainstream football awards. After fifth place at Ballon d’Or 2025the Brazilian footballer was excluded from FIFA BEST XI. The choice should be surprising, considering who was put in his place. If Yamal laminae And Ousmane Dembele they rightly remain untouchable, some more doubts remain about the English seasons Jude Bellingham And Cole Palmer. The training was selected on the basis of a joint vote between fans of football and a jury of experts specially recruited by the FIFA institution.
In the past season, the Blaugrana number 11 actually scored 62 G+Acontributing significantly to the national title and the unfortunate path in the Champions League. The decision caused so much scandal that even the footballer’s wife, Natalia Belloliexposed herself on social media.

Raphinha’s wife posted on her profile Instagram stories regarding her husband’s thorny case. The first story contained the crazy numbers recorded by the winger with Flick in the 2024-25 season, accompanied by the sentence: “62 G+A. But he didn’t deserve to be among the 11“.
Afterwards, further content was published with the actually awarded lineup of Best Fifa Men’s 11. With this attachment, the accompanying quote was, if anything, even harsher. The Brazilian model and influencer actually provoked by writing: “Raphinha is a player basketball?“. The stories were immediately deleted, but this did not prevent the echo of the controversy from dying out.
