João Félix returned to the eleven and was decisive in Atlético's triumph against Valencia (3-1). The Portuguese scored the first rojiblanco goal and assisted Luis Suárez in the second. The '7' commented on his personal performance and that of the team to Movistar+:
Comeback: “Yes, we started losing but we are a team that fights to the end and we happily achieved the victory and we are happy about that”
The 1-1, in a corner: “We are working on that, we have players who are very strong upside down, but it is also good if the ball enters the other ways.”
Back to eleven: “I can give much more still. Being on the bench happens to all the players, it happened to me at Benfica as well. I know what I'm capable of, when I put myself I try to enjoy and help the team.”
Substituted at 62 ': “No, calm down. Cholo does what is best for the team.”
Suárez scorer: “It's perfect to have a forward like that. Morata and Diego Costa too, hopefully Suárez continues like this, scoring goals and helping us.”
Advantage over Madrid and Barça: “We are fine, we have to continue like this to finish celebrating. We are fighting every game and we have to continue like this, we cannot just look at the points and get rid of it, then things go badly. We continue game by game.”
