PSG Star Neymar Talks Mental Health, Says He Has 'Messed Up Several Times'

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has opened up on his mental health and said he has made mistakes in recent years.

The forward spoke to the Mirror's Hannah Britt about the importance of maintaining "good mental health" while recovering from injury.

"I think when you are mentally well things happen naturally," he said. "You are more likely to do the right things. If you are not so well, things will not happen the way you expect."

The Brazilian has had his share of injuries since moving to PSG from Barcelona in 2017.

In each of his first two seasons in Paris, he injured the fifth metatarsal on his right foot midway through, which means he has missed the most important periods of both campaigns.
