"Felix will join the traitors Sanchez and Courtois"

Joao Felix's superb dinked finish earned Barcelona a vital 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the La Liga title race. The Portuguese forward, on loan at Barca from Atletico, made no secret of his pleasure to escape the Spanish capital this summer and made his parent club pay at the Olympic Stadium.

The 24-year-old not only celebrated in front of his former team's fans but was also caught by 'Movistar' throwing an ironic kiss to the stands. His behaviour in Sunday's game has angered Atletico fans in recent days.

Fans of the Madrid club issued a statement to the Portuguese forward to make it clear that they are upset with his attitude: "If you wanted to offend, you have not offended. It is not those who want to offend, but those who can. If it was a farewell, good riddance.

"You will join that select group of traitors that includes Hugo Sanchez, Courtois and some others. And if it's because you're not good enough, you've got enough already," they wrote.

"We are angry, we have not understood his attitude. He is ungrateful and has bitten the hand that feeds him. People don't want to see him in an Atletico shirt again," association spokesman Alberto Garcia said.
