'I deserved to be first' - Raphinha 'upset' by Ballon d'Or snub
""I would place myself in first place! Stop making that little noise! If it were... in my understanding... it's a tic.It is my understanding that an individual award cannot be based on a single competition," he added. "Based on that, I think I deserved to be first for what I delivered during the season, for the titles I won, for the numbers I achieved, and for everything I contributed on the pitch. I think I deserved to win.""
""As it is an award that is practically based on a single competition, Dembélé deserved to win, especially since he also had a spectacular season. Lamine also had a spectacular season. "But, in my view, if it were something based on the season itself, I think I deserved to win the award.""
He asserted he would place himself first and dismissed a small noise as a tic. He maintained that an individual award should not be based on a single competition. He argued he deserved first for season-long delivery, titles won, numerical achievements and overall contributions on the pitch. He conceded that, because the award was effectively decided by a single competition, Dembélé deserved the prize and noted Lamine also had a spectacular season. He reiterated that if the award were judged on the whole season, he would have deserved to win.
