Raphinha is excelling in a Barcelona side that are eyeing La Liga and Champions League glory

Raphinha is now the favourite to claim the Ballon d'Or as Barcelona continue their push for the treble.

Raphinha is therefore primed with the Catalans among the favourites whilst their winger is leading the goalscoring race.

The player himself has played down talk of landing the Ballon d'Or and insists putting the team's success first will see individual honours naturally come his way.



Combined he's now sitting on 28 goals for the season, by far and away the highest total of his career, as he looks to add a second La Liga and a first Champions League.

His individual moments of brilliance see him ahead of Robert Lewandowski with the bookies.

The Pole was controversially denied the Ballon d'Or in 2020 during the Covid-hit season but has continued to be prolific and leads Barcelona's goalscoring charts.

Whilst Barcelona look relentless, others don't.

Real Madrid's Champions League hopes hang by a thread whilst they trail Barcelona in La Liga.

PSG-Barcelona is tipped to be the Champions League final with the Frenchman looking to become the first player from his country since Zinedine Zidane to win the award - and his odds continue to shorten.

It could leave all eyes potentially on Munich in late May where a Barcelona victory may land Raphinha the Ballon d'Or, but a PSG victory could see Dembele steal the show.
