Barça is the team that the Portuguese attacker has faced the most times in his sports career: he has played seven games against the Catalans
The Portuguese, however, has never scored a goal against the Catalan team… nor against Real Madrid
joao felix will be one of the names of the meeting between Atletico Madrid Y FC Barcelona in it Metropolitan Civitas. The Portuguese striker, who is aiming for a starting position despite the fact that he could change the air in the winter transfer market, wants to know the feeling of scoring against one of the two best teams in the Santander League. And it is that the Portuguese attacker has never celebrated a goal against the Catalans, but he has not ‘wet’ against Madrid either.
And that Barça is the team that Joao has faced the most times in his sports career: He has played seven games against the Catalans with a record of three wins, two draws and two defeats. This Sunday, with all the teams interested in him (mostly from the Premier League) very aware of everything he does on the pitch of the mattress stadium, the ‘menino de ouro’ will try to remove a small thorn that is stuck in him.
Facing Real Madrid, the other great Spanish football club, Joao Félix has played one game less (six), but has not scored any goals either. Against Atlético’s city rival, in fact, he doesn’t even know victory. He has drawn two games and has lost four games. As against Barça, in all these clashes his offensive contribution has not included assists either.

Joao, therefore, has not scored against Barça and Madrid, but neither has he participated directly in any goal for Atlético against the two ‘giants’ of state football. Real Betis (three goals) and Sevilla (one), in fact, are the only teams in the noble zone of the domestic competition that have suffered from their instinct. The Portuguese, for example, has not celebrated goals against Real Sociedad or Athletic Club in six and five matches, respectively.
Simeone took advantage of the question about the uncertain situation of the Portuguese and his relevance in today’s stake to make it clear, once again, that he understands football as a uniquely and exclusively collective sport: “It is a good opportunity for the team to continue growing, improving collectively and capturing what we want. We will try to take the game where we want to take it, taking into account the particularities of a team like Barcelona”.
