Raphinha believes his initial struggles at FC Barcelona have helped him improve mentally as a footballer.
The former Leeds United winger has been slow to establish himself at the Camp Nou since switching from Elland Road back in the summer. There had been speculation over his future at the club during the January transfer window, although Xavi has publicly insisted that Raphinha is part of his long-term plans.
Raphinha found the net just two times in his first 18 La Liga appearances, but has come into his own since Ousmane Dembele suffered a thigh injury at the end of last month.
