João Félix claimed his vendetta with Atlético de Madrid, the club that has his rights and that disowned him. The Portuguese striker knocked down the red and whites with an early goal by hitting the ball after Oblak came out, he fought with almost the entire rival team and did not hold back in the celebration: he climbed the fence and opened his arms towards the Blaugrana fans.
"The celebration has been spontaneous, you get into the heat of the game, it was like a relief for everything I have experienced mainly in the last summer; only the people close to me know what it has been like, my family above all, it has been a relief for them," commented the Portuguese, in reference to his departure from the red and white club.
João Félix knew he was the center of everyone's attention. But he took it coldly. “For me it has been another week, because every week people talk about me, either good or bad, I am always a topic, but I am calm because I don't pay attention to what they say, I do my job, without thinking about what they say . I work to improve every day and be a better footballer. It is the result of the work and help of my colleagues. "I am very grateful to the club and my teammates for how they have received me."
The Portuguese was also referring to his relationship with the Atlético de Madrid locker room. "I get along very well with almost all of my former Atlético teammates, I love them very much, I have spent more time with them than with my family, and I want them to do very well, except against us. I have not crossed paths with Cholo."
The forward also commented on the esteem that the Blaugrana fans showed him by chanting his name. "When they chanted my name I didn't believe it, I know the greatness of this club and having the fans chant your name is something that doesn't happen a lot. I have to keep working to keep them doing it.
