João Félix with a strange line away from Benfica: Al Nassr are small | OneFootball

João Félix did not hide the difficulties experienced at Al Nassr throughout the season and made a strong statement about the reality of the Saudi club, after winning the championship this Thursday against Damac, in a match that ended in a rout for the yellow side from Riyadh (4-1).

"Winning with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia is not easy. People in Portugal probably don’t know. There is a lot here beyond football. Al Nassr, unfortunately, is small and it is complicated to win the league", said the former Benfica forward, in comments to Sport TV.

The striker also revealed that the move to Saudi Arabia was carefully considered before accepting Al Nassr’s project - where Jorge Jesus is set to leave. "The opportunity to come to Al Nassr was not something decided in a day. From the moment I accept, I go all in. Sometimes things go well, other times they don’t. This time I think it worked out perfectly", he stressed.

The 26-year-old player also admitted that he found at the Saudi club a favorable setting to return to his best competitive level. "I found an environment that suited me very well. The style of play, the position, the teammates I had around me. It ended up being a fantastic season, which finished in the best possible way", he said.

Already focused on the 2026 World Cup, the former Benfica star showed confidence in the National Team’s chances. "We have a great group and with a little bit of luck I believe we can win (the World Cup)", he concluded.
