Thierry Henry didn't hide his admiration for Raphinha's season on Tuesday, putting the Brazilian winger as one of the serious candidates for the Ballon d'Or, even ahead of Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane.
“For me, Raphinha is ahead because of what he's doing in the Champions League. He has 11 goals in the competition. Salah is a contender, Kane too, Dembelé depends...”, the Arsenal legend began, speaking on CBS Sports' Golazo program.
“It always depends on what you do in the Champions League, as well as winning your domestic league. Raphinha has a lot of goals and only one penalty. I'm not saying that Salah is bad, but if someone scores the same goals as you without penalties, there has to be more talk about him,” he concluded.
Raphinha continues to dazzle at Barcelona, where he has made 41 appearances this season, contributing 27 goals and 18 assists in all competitions.
