‘No idea how he didn’t win the Ballon d’Or’ - Diego Simeone hails Raphinha after Barcelona win
Some generous words after the game at Camp Nou.
”Raphinha is an incredible player. He can play everywhere. As a winger, as a midfielder, as a striker, or even as a wing back,” he told the medida.
“He can score, he can create, he presses and runs. I have no idea how he did not win the Ballon d’Or.”
”I’m very happy with the team’s performance,” he added.
“We started very well, then they managed to hurt us through the middle. In the second half, they started a bit better, and from the 20-minute mark onwards, we took control of the game. We had three important scoring opportunities that we couldn’t convert... but I’m happy.”
