FC Barcelona loanee Joao Felix is gearing up for what he anticipates to be a 'spicy' encounter at the Metropolitano against parent club Atletico Madrid this Sunday. The Portuguese winger, who made the move to Barcelona from Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window, is bracing himself for a potentially hostile reception from Atleti's passionate supporters due to his departure from the club amidst rumors of discord with head coach Diego Simeone.
Felix, who netted the winning goal in Barca's 1-0 victory over Atletico at the Montjuic Stadium in December, is mentally preparing for a challenging atmosphere in the upcoming match. Despite acknowledging the likelihood of facing intensified scrutiny, Felix remains focused on his performance and the team's objectives, emphasizing the importance of maintaining concentration amidst external distractions.
