João Félix was facing a very important match for him tonight. Atlético, the team to which he still belongs, arrived at the Camp Nou and needed to shine. The Portuguese striker not only lived up to the challenge but was decisive with a goal and won the MVP of the match. He took advantage of a one-on-one with Oblak before the break to score the only goal of the game and could not contain himself. 'O menino' went towards the fence to celebrate the goal with the public present at the Lluis Companys. In case anyone had doubts, Félix celebrated his goal in style.
The Portuguese striker had been the star of the week. Firstly because in Barça's previous match, against Porto, João Félix celebrated his goal by kissing the shield. The Barça striker flaunted the passion he says he lives for this, his new club. But that gesture, highlighted in the week in which they faced Atlético de Madrid, was interpreted as an affront to the colchoneros.
Subsequently, Antoine Griezmann and Saúl Ñíguez spoke about Joao Félix's role at Atlético de Madrid. The French striker noted: "There were moments when he did very well, but you have to be constant and he got tired...". The midfielder reproached him that "he could have done things better."
The Portuguese striker responded before the match against Atlético de Madrid. Regarding Griezmann's words, in a very serious pose, he replied that "I do not agree. Everyone has their opinion... and I am not going to comment." On the other hand, responding to Saúl's words, the Barça striker assumed that "obviously things could have been done better", but he recalled that "both me and everyone. There have been things that have not been done well, but it was not fault of only one... it was of several".
After everything he experienced this week, the Portuguese forward entered the game very responsible and was one of the most outstanding with great actions. Still in the first half he became the protagonist of the match with a goal that gave the victory to the azulgranas, in need of good news after some games without showing the best version of him.
