Using his platform as a high-profile Premier League star, the Argentine was keen to send a message to his younger supporters. He spoke about the importance of breaking down the stigma surrounding therapy, urging those struggling with their emotions to seek professional guidance rather than suffering in silence.
“I’m taking this opportunity to tell kids to be aware that there’s a solution for everything, that they can talk to professionals,” he added. “Many times, fear and anxiety prevent you from fully expressing yourself. I think it’s a very important part not just of being happy, but of enjoying life. I had many fears, I’m also a very devout believer in God, and today I feel much more prepared to express myself, both on and off the field.”
