## Resource

Raphinha is tearing it up for Barcelona this season, leading La Liga’s scoring charts with nine goals and three assists in just seven games while donning the captain’s armband — yet he’s shockingly snubbed from Ballon d’Or contention again, a pattern rooted in injury woes last year and past overlooked brilliance. With his explosive form continuing into 2026-27 and Barcelona surging toward dominance, Raphinha’s time to finally claim individual glory may be here — and the competition better brace themselves.
