Sporting Gijon full-back Douglas has revealed he used to cry every day during his time with Barcelona.
The defender endured a testing couple of seasons at the Camp Nou after signing from Sao Paolo in 2014. He agreed to join Sporting on loan in the previous summer window, and speaking to El Comercio (h/t AS), he has revealed how distraught he was with how things panned out at Barcelona.
“In Barcelona I had some tough times with injuries,” he said. “I'd come home crying every day.”
Indeed, Douglas made a total of three La Liga appearances for Barcelona, and even if he does shine on loan at Sporting, it’s extremely difficult to see him having any future at the football club.
