Joao Felix sends strong message to Atletico fans after Barcelona win

Joao Felix has sent out a strong message to Atletico fans after scoring in Barcelona’s 3-0 win over his parent club.

Atletico supporters burned a replica of his shirt and spat on Felix’s plaque outside the ground before the game, making their feelings about the forward pretty clear.

Yet Felix insists he’s not the “bad guy” and claims fans don’t really know what went on during his time at Atletico.

“As I said before, the fans in the stands do not know the things that happened here during the time I’ve been here,” he said.
