No longer having the status of star striker last year at Atlético de Madrid, who loaned him to Chelsea in the second half of the season, Portuguese striker João Félix seems to be having a blast at FC Barcelona, his starting point for this exercise. With 5 goals and 3 assists in all competitions, the 24-year-old has become one of the darlings of Catalan supporters. He has even demonstrated his love for the Blaugrana jersey on numerous occasions, notably after his goal against the Colchoneros last weekend in Montjuïc (1-0). However, this status is not really the same in the capital, far from it…
To believe Sportthe spokesperson for the International Union of Atlético Peñas, Alberto García, made it clear to the Portuguese international (35 caps, 7 goals) that he was no longer welcome among the residents of Civitas Metropolitano at the microphone of the Cadena COPE. “It turns out he has been a Barca fan since childhood and celebrates goals as if they were a title. It was his second goal in La Liga, it’s not like he’s having a great season. This is ungrateful and disrespectful to a fan base that has been his and has treated him well. He has generated a hostile atmosphere at the Metropolitano and we no longer want to see him with the Atlético de Madrid jersey. He doesn’t deserve it and didn’t understand this club or these supporters.” The message got through.
