Weakened by criticism, a FC Barcelona player opens up about his mental health.
Far from being unanimous at FC Barcelona, Ferran Torres has been subjected to a lot of criticism. Negative judgements which, according to the Spanish striker, have deeply affected him, to the point of pushing him to consult psychologists.
These revelations, still little known to the general public and the media, were revealed by the former Manchester City player in the Netflix documentary “LaLiga: Beyond the Goal”.
A shocking confession
“I thought the things they said about me didn’t affect me and they did,” said Ferran Torres. “I lost the illusion of playing, the desire to go to training. That’s when I started seeing a mental health professional.”he explained in the second chapter of the documentary.
This season, the Barça left winger has played 42 matches, scoring 11 goals and providing 4 assists for the Blaugrana. Arriving for 55 million euros from Manchester City in January 2022, Ferran Torres is still struggling to justify the amount of his transfer.
