Former Barcelona FC and current Inter Miami football star Lionel Messi opened up in a recent interview with Infobae about his mental health and how he sought out help.
In the interview, Messi told the interviewer that he had sought out mental health help during his time with Barcelona FC.
‘I had never tried that before’, he is quoted in saying. ‘I was very reluctant to. I didn’t like it. I’m a person who bottles up everything and swallows it, the good and the bad.’
However, he said that when he did finally go, it did him ‘very well.’
‘I really liked it and helped me a lot’, he is quoted in saying.
