João Félix stats don’t lie: ex-Benfica ace steals the spotlight again | OneFootball

After avoiding Benfica, at a time when almost everything was settled with Chelsea, it seems that João Félix's move to Saudi Arabia has only worked wonders for the Portuguese international. Under the command of Jorge Jesus and in the company of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese international found new life at Al Nassr and the numbers speak for themselves.

According to the newspaper Record, in its edition this Thursday, October 9, the Portuguese international - who shone again in the Champions League - arrives at the new stage of the National Team showcasing the best phase of his career in five years. In the current season alone, the 25-year-old forward doesn't know what it is to lose. In the 11 games he played, he recorded 10 wins and one draw.

The same source goes back to 2020 to find a similar record to what the former Benfica forward presents. At that time, before facing France, João Félix arrived at Portugal's training camp buoyed by an unparalleled form: two goals against Salzburg, a brace against Osasuna and Lokomotiv Moscow, and an assist against Cádiz. All this before his relationship with Simeone 'went south'.

Having a season of good performances, the young athlete shows no limitations that would prevent him from contributing in Portugal's next match, against Ireland. Alongside the former Benfica player, all the players are training at full strength, under the watchful eye of Roberto Martínez.

João Félix - currently valued at 20 million euros - has been in the spotlight while playing for Al Nassr. In the current sports season, the number 79 participated in nine matches for the Saudis. In the 719 minutes he was on the field, he recorded eight goals and two assists.
