After Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, Atlético Madrid was making its comeback in Spain. For its first day of the championship, against Granada, the Colchoneros won 3-1, thanks to a cannonball signed Memphis Depay in particular. But if the victory launches the men of Diego Simeone perfectly, for João Félix, the evening turned into a nightmare. Indeed, during the entire meeting, the Portuguese was strongly booed by his own public when this first appeared on the giant screen.
Worse, after the match, the players on the bench carried out a cleanup in which the playmaker took part, a moment chosen for some Atlético supporters to insult João Félix in every way. “Son of p ***” shout many fans, visibly still touched by the declarations of love pronounced by the former Benfica this summer to join FC Barcelona. So much so that the cleaning had to be interrupted by the Madrid staff, in order to go to the locker room more quickly. The break is total between João Félix and the supporters. Let’s now hope that the Portuguese finds a way out, at the risk of spending a season under fire from critics.
