Joao Felix

“Cristiano is Cristiano and I am Joao Felix.”

“It is very good to play against your friends. It is always fun, like we are playing in the garden.”

“Bruno is a very, very good player. It is very easy to play with him. When he has the ball, he always chooses the best option, to give you a chance to score. That is why he gets a lot of assists.”

“It's only a matter of time and nothing will stop me achieving my dreams.”

“Everyone says Fee-lix, even in Spain. I don't know why - I think it's not too hard. It's pronounced Fay-lix. But I don't mind too much - I don't care!”

“I was never released by Porto. I just told them I wanted to leave and Benfica appeared.”

“When you suffer together, you learn to win together.”

“As I grew as a man, and as a player, I realised that's what I loved - to have the ball, and to play wonderful, happy football. That's when I'm at my best, that's when I am me. But when I played for Porto's youth teams, that didn't always happen.”

“Playing Champions League is always different. It is the competition that everyone wants to play.”

“What they say from the outside is that I get along badly with my former team-mates, but that's not true.”

“It's always good playing with the best and the best players, so playing in Portugal with the national team, it's very important for a young player.”

“I've developed as a player in a lot of ways: the perception of the game, and the spaces the ball can arrive easily where I can make more impact. I try to figure it out by watching some videos of me of my games.”

“I saw the strikers that Atletico had and they were great players, great strikers. I want to be one more and this is why I choose to come here.”

“I am calm about my future, and aware of what I can do, I feel good about myself.”

“Five days a week for six years, between the ages of seven and 13, my mother and father would drive me from Viseu to Porto.It was a trek. Round-trip, it was about 150 miles. Every day. Porto was where I would go to chase my dreams of being a professional footballer.”

“So I don't know a lot of London but I know it's a big city, it's a wonderful city.”

“You don't have to think you're going to be the next Ronaldo or that you're going to win this or that. You just have to have fun and enjoy the moment to the fullest.”

“All the best Portuguese players have gone to play in the most important foreign Leagues, and of course I'd like to do that too.”

“My best position is as the second forward. Playing like a No.10, with a guy in front of me.”

“Bernardo is very funny. Just looking at him is funny. He is just a funny guy.”
