From genius to genius. Joao Felix paints his plays with his feet, his happy pictures of the
Atlético de Madrid
with rivals at his feet which Surrender of Breda, his own dribbles of the fascination of the gaze of the characters of the Greco, the voluptuousness of her movements worthy of the figures of Rubens…
If there was a museum in which to keep these anthological plays, the Portuguese would have many options of ending up in it. The Prado Museum It is a world reference in its field. And curiously has a relationship with Joao Felix and with the rival that the Portuguese will have in front this Tuesday.

Byshovets, coach of the Russian team in 2007, referred with a curious comparison to a predecessor of the young Portuguese talent, in this case to Kun Aguero, when the Lokomotiv was measured at Athletic. “Seeing Agüero is like visiting the Prado Museum,” said the preparer then.
More than a decade later, a young Joao Felix, the most expensive signing in the history of the mattress club, was announced by the Atlético de Madrid with a careful video in the Prado Museum and two simple words: “Pure talent”. As the Kun, the football color palette of the 'Menino de Oro'Is overwhelming. Their styles, enjoyable. Two footballers touched by a gift.
Y Joao Felix wants to link now all that amalgam of coincidences and references, as if it were a madness of Bosco, to demonstrate that using one of the most important art galleries in the world, in its presentation, was not an exaggeration.
The Portuguese has skyrocketed his scoring figures this week. He scored two goals Salzburg last Tuesday at the Champions League at Wanda Metropolitanor and did the same this Saturday in front of Osasuna in The Sadar (1-3). There are four goals in five days. For him, the first time in his professional career that he has scored two doubles in a row.
He is already the top scorer in Athletic in this season and has been introduced to spare Europe. He already did it in his day with him Benfica, with which he achieved a ‘hat-trick’ in Europa League. But it is that for some time now, he has specialized in making great matches in the highest continental competition, which are big words. He already did it last year, for example before his own Lokomotiv, or in the final phase against Leipzig. But it was on the previous day, before Salzburg, when his most genius and virtuous performance was seen.
A RIVAL THAT HAS ALREADY SUFFERED
In Moscow they already know that Joao Felix he is an artist with the ball at his feet. They suffered him last season. The Portuguese scored two great games against which this Tuesday will be his rival again. In Moscow he scored a great goal and made a huge game.
And in the clash of the second round of the group, in Madrid, at Metropolitan Wanda, again opened the scoring with another great goal.
