Buoyed by a goal from Joao Félix, FC Barcelona claimed the scalp of Atlético de Madrid (1-0) on the 15th day of La Liga. Ruthless with the Colchoneros, the 24-year-old Portuguese allowed the Blaugrana to climb to 3rd place in the rankings. While waiting to know what his future will hold, the native of Viseu, on loan from the Madrid club, was at the center of discussions at the press conference.
Present in front of journalists, Xavi, the coach of the Catalan team, however, did not wish to get involved in the future of his protégé. “Joao Félix stays or leaves in 2024? You should ask the board…I’m super happy with him. He’s a great guy, nice and funny in the locker room too. I like having him with us. I see him happy here and very competitive. He is also very well connected with Cancelo.. The message has gotten through!
