Barcelona sporting director Deco has responded to the omission of Pedri and Raphinha Dias from the nominees for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
Raphinha made 33 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring 21 goals and providing eight assists. Pedri played 43 matches, scoring twice and recording 12 assists.
Barcelona currently lead the Spanish championship after four rounds, having collected 12 points.
The club believe Lamine Yamal should win the Ballon d’Or.
