If Antoine Griezmann was delighted to recover the number 7 at Atlético de Madrid, this decision particularly annoyed one of his teammates.
The misfortune of some is the happiness of others. A well-known proverb, which applies perfectly to what is happening between Antoine Griezmann and Joao Felix on the side of Atlético de Madrid. While the Portuguese was loaned out to Chelsea for a few months (unsuccessfully) this season, the club’s management decided it was time to return the number 7 to Antoine Griezmann. A number that the Frenchman will wear during the next exercise. But back in Madrid and hearing the news, Joao Felix threw a serious tantrum.
Under contract with Atlético until June 2027, the Lusitanian international therefore did not taste the thing at all and he let his sports director know during a somewhat special training session for him. . While Diego Simeone was setting up a duel between holders and attackers, Joao Felix was invited to finish his session with the young people of the Madrid academy. It was then that the player told the bottom of his thoughts to Andrea Berta.

And now ?
A scene filmed by a stealth camera and which has since been looping on social networks. Having thus lost his number in favor of Antoine Griezmann, Joao Felix seems more than ever deadlocked at Atlético de Madrid. Cited in particular on the side of Paris Saint-Germain, will the former hope of Portuguese football find a way out within a Madrid club which clearly seems to want to separate from him?
