Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed strong disappointment over Raphinha's exclusion from the 2025 FIFA Best Men's XI, calling the decision 'a joke' and 'not fair.' Despite Raphinha's standout performance in the 2024-25 season, which helped Barcelona secure a domestic treble, only teammates Lamine Yamal and Pedri made the team. Flick highlighted Raphinha's incredible influence, including top goal contributions in the Champions League.
FC Barcelona bounced back from their El Clasico defeat with a 3-1 victory over Elche at the Olympic Stadium. Goals from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Marcus Rashford secured the three points despite a resilient performance from the visitors. Hansi Flick praised his team's attitude but acknowledged areas for improvement.
