Gulf Today
|December 21, 2025
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick raged against Raphinha's omission from FIFA’s team of the year, labelling the world football governing body's “The Best Men's XI' a joke on Saturday.
-
The Brazilian was essential on the left wing for the the Catalan giants as they won a domestic treble last season.
However the 29-year-old was not chosen as part of the dream lineup, voted for by national team coaches, captains, journalists and fans, behind players including Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham.
"This FIFA Best XI players is a joke, really a joke," Flick told a news conference, after the award ceremony earlier this week.
"When I see there is no Raphinha in the side, it’s unbelievable.”
