Paul Pogba reacts to Raphinha Ballon d'Or snub

What else does Raphinha actually have to do to get a spot on the Ballon d'Or list? Paul Pogba is genuinely baffled by the omission, admitting he even double-checked the official nominees himself because he assumed he'd missed something. He insists that while other incredible players exist and everyone has valid arguments for their own favorites, you can't ignore what Raphinha delivered for Barcelona. The numbers are there with goals and assists, but it's the moments when they mattered most that stand out. Pogba points to the pressing, the movement without the ball, the chance creation, and the sheer fighting spirit as proof of his worth. It isn't about kicking someone else off the list; it's about whether performance metrics alone should exclude him from the conversation entirely. If the judging is based strictly on what happens on the pitch, then Raphinha had to be included and there really shouldn't be any debate about it.
