Ballon d’Or: PSG’s Marquinhos names player to win 2025 award

Published on March 25, 2025 at 06:31 AM

Brazil defender, Marquinhos, has backed Barcelona forward, Raphinha to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or award.

Marquinhos, who plays for PSG, said that he was happy that everyone is seeing the good work being done by his compatriot.

He said this while addressing the media ahead of Brazil's clash with Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers.

Marquinhos said that the Barça winger has an incredible mentality and is a leader on the pitch.

He hopes that his national teammate can maintain the same level until the end of the season.

He said, “Raphinha is a phenomenon. Now everyone sees his potential and everything he can do, something that we already saw internally in the national team.

“We already saw how important he is, his effort, his mentality and his leadership. He is very intelligent and always offers the right words.

“He conveyed that when he fouled Vini and showed himself to be a leader and a possible captain.

“He did that because he thought of the group first. These are things that weren’t seen on the outside, but people were already seeing them on the inside.

“If he continues at the same level from now until the end of the season, he has everything to win the Ballon d'Or.”;

Raphinha and Mohamed Salah are in the front line of players tipped to claim the award this season.

The Brazilian winger has scored 27 goals and provided 20 assists in 42 appearances for La Blaugrana this season.

Vinicius Jr was also in the mix with Kylian Mbappe, but the Real Madrid duo have fallen behind.
