“I think the best advice I ever received was from Raphinha. It happened about two months ago. It was a message that really helped me a lot.



No one had ever said anything like that to me,” he told ESPN.“At that moment, I realized that it was something I needed and didn’t know. It was a message that I really appreciated from him.

Raphinha showed a great side as a person and as a captain.“Not everyone shows empathy and concern for others, even when everything seems fine. He was concerned about me at that moment, he asked how I was.

The truth is that he helped me a lot.”Raphinha has embraced a leadership role this season at Barcelona and has certainly led by example. He’s also spoken previously of his struggles off the pitch, saying he almost gave up football at one stage, and seems to be using his experience to help his team-mates now.
