Manchester City defender Pablo Maffeo is enjoying his football at Girona.
Maffeo is on a season-long loan with the LaLiga minnows.
"Loans mature you as a professional," he told the Daily Mail.
"It's where you get used to playing week in week out, it's also where I've learned to deal with not playing and having a bad time when you are out the team and in that way learning what football can be like.
"It's worked out well for me this season but when I came here the first time I didn't play much. It toughens you up and make you grow up.
"This is professional football and you are not going to play just because you have come from Manchester City."
