Joao Felix has had a flying start at FC Barcelona

Joao Felix has been named Man of the Match in 2 out of the three games he has played.

Joao Felix has been loaned out to FC Barcelona from Atletico Madrid to kickstart his career. Felix hasn't really found his form since his Benfica days; he has only shown glimpses of his potential at Atletico, and there's no need to dwell on his loan spell at Chelsea. He has turned 23 now and is currently on loan at Barcelona, and it's time for him to showcase his potential. It must be said that his start at FC Barcelona has been fantastic. In yesterday's Champions League match against Royal Antwerp, he played for 67 minutes, during which he managed to score 2 goals and provide 1 assist. He rightfully earned the title of Man of the Match.

In the weekend match against Real Betis, Joao Felix was also the standout player in the 5-0 victory. He scored a goal and seamlessly integrated into the offensive play with his teammates. It appears that FC Barcelona and Joao Felix are a good match. From a playing perspective, it suits Felix well with the positional play and freedom in the attack. He was previously quite restricted at Atletico, where structure is of utmost importance under Diego Simeone. Now, he's positioned out wide, allowing him the freedom to cut inside and move more freely around the pitch.

Furthermore, he returned to the Portuguese national team, where he played for 33 minutes across two matches and managed to score a goal. Therefore, Joao Felix is brimming with confidence, which bodes well for the young Portuguese talent.
