João Félix played his hundredth match against Osasuna with the Atlético shirt and he was able to celebrate it with a win. A very important victory for the rojiblanco team, since it keeps them alive in the fight for Champions positions. The Portuguese striker scored a goal and assisted Luis Suárez so that the Uruguayan made it 0-2 against Osasuna. A round match for the Atlético player and one that should give him great morale for the rest of the season. “I am very happy to have my plate in the stadium and when I receive it I will put it in the living room to see it every day”Said the soccer player on social networks for having a plaque on the Paseo de Leyendas.
João Félix becomes an Atlético Legend thanks to his one hundred games played. In them he has scored 23 goals and has given 12 assists. He has played 63 starting games. João Félix scored five goals against Osasuna and two against Villarreal, Granada and Cádiz plus Salzburg and Lokomotiv. He scored a goal against Sevilla, Betis, Valencia, Eibar, Mallorca, Rayo Majadahonda, Bayern Munich and Leipzig.
Of the one hundred games played, 75 have been in LaLiga, 18 in the Champions League, four in the Copa del Rey and three in the Spanish Super Cup. At 22 years old and with a contract in force until 2026, he has last season’s league title in his record. Another Portuguese who made history, like Paulo Futre, failed to win La Liga.
Its market value is 60 million euros and from the rojiblanca entity they have always stated that he is a key piece for the future when other important European football clubs asked about him. The player ended the match against Osasuna very happy and said that “the locker room is united”, perhaps alluding to the information about a possible division in the Atlético group. The player has always publicly stated that he feels happy at Atlético and that he was fully learning under Simeone’s orders.
Now comes the tie against Manchester United, a rival that motivates Atlético players a lot. The Portuguese always said that his great objective is to win important titles both at club and national level. And the Champions is one of them.
