First surprise for Jonatan Giráldez’s Barça for next season. The Barcelona entity has communicated the unilateral termination of the contract of Nuria Rábano, 24, who ended her relationship on June 30, 2024. The left-back arrived at Barça last summer, from Real Sociedad and has had a role very residual in the culé team. The Galician has lived through a tough season and, during these months, she has confessed to suffering from anxiety after a difficult year on a personal level.

Rábano was the first Barça player to be presented at the Camp Nou. After three years in the football elite (at Deportivo and Real Sociedad) Barça knocked on her door. She packed her bags and went to Barcelona to fulfill a dream. However, the months that she has worn the culé jacket have not been easy. Despite accepting a substitute role since her arrival, the soccer player has seen her participation reduced to a minimum exponent under the orders of Jonatan Giráldez.

“In October or November is when I decide to contact a psychologist,” Nuria Rábano confessed in an interview in Relief. “I wanted to grow, to know where all the anxiety could come from. In the end that is reflected in yourself, in the confidence when you are playing. All of that is reflected on the pitch. I noticed it, there will be people who have noticed it too. In a team like Barça, the demand and all that it implies”, he added. It was a host of things that affected his day to day, on and off the field. “You suffer from afar and it’s what I’ve had the worst. Those four walls fell on me. I called my parents to come. At first, even if I was with someone, it wasn’t worth it,” she said.

Asking for help and going to a professional helped him understand the origin of these sensations and how to manage them. “Taking out all that that I had inside, knowing how to manage it and focus it on something else has helped me to experience everything I’ve experienced and see it with another perspective,” said the winger hours after lifting the second Champions League for Barcelona in Eindhoven.
