Santos player Neymar was upset about his Brazil teammate Raphinha finishing fifth in the Ballon d’Or voting. He shared his thoughts in Instagram comments.

Neymar expressed his disappointment, saying, “Raphinha’s fifth place is an absolute joke.” He clearly disagreed with the ranking of the Barcelona player.

The award was won by Ousmane Dembélé, who secured every title with PSG last season except one. Raphinha, a top contender, ended up in fifth place.

He was ranked below others, including Lamine Yamal in second place, Vitinha, and Mohamed Salah, who had lost his chance after Liverpool was eliminated by PSG in the Champions League round of 16.
