Former Leeds United winger Raphinha has admitted his time at Barcelona this season has been 'difficult' after their group stage exit from the Champions League.
The Whites sold last season's talisman for a reported fee of £50m but he hasn't found the same form for Barcelona that he showed while playing at Elland Road.
He's scored just once in the 17 appearances he's made this season - the third in a 4-1 win over Sevilla three weeks into the La Liga season and hasn't found the back of the net in over two months.

Speaking to Spanish radio outlet Cadena Ser, the Brazilian highlighted that whilst the season has been difficult for him, his teammates have been helping him get through this tough period of his career.
"For me, on an individual level, it's been difficult: I'm a striker and I like to score. I've scored just one official goal all season and that touches you a bit. I'm adapting, my colleagues are helping me. I'm working to make this adaptation as fast as possible.
"There are changes from years ago to here; it's normal. The teams have to make changes, but I see that at Barça the way of playing is maintained."
Earlier on in the season, Raphinha was given the title 'Il Peggiore' - meaning 'The Worst' - by Italian outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport after his torrid performance in a Champions League game between Barcelona and Inter Milan.
After 21 consecutive years of reaching the knockout round of the Champions League, the Spanish giants have now crashed out of the group stage for the second straight year and have been drawn against Manchester United in a play-off match to reach the Europa League Round of 16.
