Barcelona forward Raphinha has said working with a psychologist is essential for anyone navigating a career as a professional footballer and not let the sport "destroy you."
Raphinha, 27, has started the season in fine form, scoring a hat trick in Saturday's 7-0 win against Real Valladolid, but his time at Barça has not always been easy.
Since joining from Leeds United in 2022 for €55 million ($60.7m), he has struggled to adapt to the club, seen his performances criticised and been regularly linked with a transfer elsewhere.
