I have a good relationship with Atlético Madrid players — Felix

Atlético Madrid loanee Joao Felix has debunked rumours of a hostile reception from the club’s players, after his outstanding performance for Barcelona on Sunday.

Feliz opened the scoring for Barcelona before Lewandowski and López made it 3-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano last night.

Reacting to his relationship with Atlético players, Felix said, “The fans don’t know what happened inside, I understand them but I shouldn’t be seen as the bad guy,” per Goal.

“Even my relationship with Atleti players is very good. What they say from the outside is that I get along badly with my former Atleti teammates, and that’s not true, I was talking to Samuel Lino and Lemar, and everyone who passed by hugged me, they came to talk.”

Joao Felix has been invited to the Portugal national team, ahead of friendlies against Sweden and Slovenia on March 21 and March 26, respectively.
