Brazilian Barcelona star Rafinha (28) gave an interview in which he revealed his biggest dreams, his disappointment at missing out on the Ballon d'Or dream, and his desire to stay at the Spanish club until he retires. He also commented on his fifth-place finish, which came behind Dembele, Yamal, Gavi, and Salah. Rafinha said: «It was a personal disappointment because I gave a lot every day and expected to be the best. Now I feel I can play more freely, read the game better, and deal with pressure more maturely. Last season was very special with consistent performance and important goals for the team. The start of this season gave me more confidence and a unique mix of technical maturity, experience, and mental strength.» He added: «I'm proud to be fifth, but my expectations were higher.»
