Raphinha reacts to being snubbed by his teammates! 17 images and a clear message

The Brazilian is amazed by what has happened in the last few hours and expresses his anger on social media

Last season for Raphinha was, without a doubt, the brightest of his career. The Brazilian winger from Barça established himself as one of the team's most decisive pieces. His ability to unbalance, his commitment, and his capacity to show up at key moments placed him among the most outstanding players on the European scene.

However, to the surprise of many, Raphinha hasn't been included in the FIFPRO World 11, the prestigious ideal eleven chosen by footballers from all over the world. This absence has caused controversy and many fans consider it a clear example of undervaluation.

Nobody understands Raphinha's situation

For many fans, Raphinha's absence from FIFPRO reflects his lack of recognition. Even though Barça didn't achieve all their collective goals, number 11's individual performance was extraordinary, finishing with 34 goals and 26 assists. Because of this, on social media thousands of users have supported the Brazilian after he was left out of the eleven chosen by his professional peers.

Meanwhile, Flick also can't believe what happened. The German coach believes Barça should be better represented, but above all, he highlights Raphinha's absence. He is the soul of the team and the locker room, and he never stays silent in the face of injustice.

Raphinha's reaction ignites social media

Raphinha, who has always shown a strong and competitive character, hasn't stayed silent. Hurt by the lack of recognition, he has decided to express himself in his own way, using social media as a loudspeaker. On his Instagram account, the player posted 17 consecutive stories in which he reviewed some of the best moments from last season.

Among the images, you could see his goals in key matches for Barça and his unbelievable statistics. Without the need to write long sentences or aggressive messages, Raphinha made his position clear: he doesn't understand how his name doesn't appear among the best.

The Brazilian was key in several stretches of last season. In addition, his improvement in the defensive aspect and his tactical commitment were highly valued by the coaching staff. For the vast majority, he has more than earned his place in FIFPRO's ideal eleven.

Raphinha wants to be among the best

Raphinha doesn't understand it, but he knows that what happened with FIFPRO's ideal eleven will serve to further strengthen his character. The 17 images weren't a heat-of-the-moment reaction, but a reminder that his talent remains intact and that, when the ball rolls, he'll respond on the field.

Raphinha feels undervalued, but he's ready to show that he deserves to be among the best in the world. The Brazilian has spoken in his favorite language, soccer, and Barça hope his reaction translates into a new competitive boost. At Camp Nou, they know it: when Raphinha feels challenged, he usually responds with memorable performances.
