‘I entered a bottomless pit’ – Ex-Man City star reveals psychological turmoil ahead of huge Man Utd clash
FORMER Man City star Ferran Torres has revealed he has been seeing a psychologist.
The Spanish attacker sought help after some very hard months on a personal level.

Now at Barcelona, Torres has been trying to help the club return to the heights of its past.
However, his move to the Catalan giants has not been perfect as he has struggled for consistent form.
Since joining the club from Man City in January 2022 he has only managed to score 12 times in 52 appearances in all competitions.
But he did impress during the club’s 2-0 win over Cadiz while playing in his natural right-wing position.
The 22-year-old has now admitted that seeing a psychologist has helped him overcome his issues.
He told Mundo Deportivo: “I entered a bottomless pit, I didn’t know how to get out.
“It was at that moment that I decided to work with a psychologist.
“I was not confident and everything affected me.

“It has been a very bitter experience, but at the same time one of the best moments because now I feel stronger.
“It has not been appreciated that I came at a very difficult time, with the team ninth in the league, and then being a participant to qualify the team for the Champions League.
“I have become too obsessed with the goal and not with playing.
“Before, I thought more about scoring, even if I didn’t play well.
“Now I have learned to go out, to enjoy and from there, things come out on their own.”
Torres will be hoping to enjoy himself again for Barcelona in their next match against Manchester United.
The two sides face off again for the second leg of their Europa League clash following the 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp last week.
