João Félix stats don’t lie: ex-Benfica man shines again | OneFootball

João Félix is on a high, and the numbers prove the Portuguese player's good performance—something that hadn't been seen since he left Benfica.

After leaving Benfica at a time when everything was almost set 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 alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese international has found new life at Al Nassr, and the numbers speak for themselves.

According to the newspaper Record, in this Thursday's edition, October 9, the Portuguese international—who shone once again in the Champions League—arrives at the new National Team training camp experiencing the best phase of his career in five years. So far this season, the 25-year-old forward does not know what it means to lose. In the 11 matches he has played, he has recorded 10 wins and one draw.

The same source goes back to 2020 to find a similar record to what the former Benfica forward is showing now. At that time, before facing France, João Félix arrived at Portugal's training camp riding 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 full 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 standing out for Al Nassr. In the current sports season, the number 79 has played in nine matches for the Saudi side. In the 719 minutes he has spent on the pitch, he has recorded eight goals and two assists.
