Joao Félix asked Carrasco to take the penalty

Atletico and Bayer Leverkusen were held to a draw at the Metropolitano. The match ended 2-2, despite the fact that the Spanish team could have won had it not been for the penalty missed in the 99th minute by Yannick Carrasco.

The shot was decisive and the Belgian was willing to take it, but he was not the only one. Joao Felix also wanted to take it, as the 'Movistar +' cameras showed.

The Portuguese approached the Belgian as the referee went to the VAR to check if it had indeed been a penalty. Joao Felix took the opportunity to ask Carrasco to let him shoot, but he grabbed the ball, making it clear that he was going to try his luck.

The scene did not go unnoticed by Futre, a Atletico legend, who on 'El Larguero' said he was worried about Joao Felix. "I thought it was a punishment, a father-son relationship, but I don't think so.... As long as he's here, I don't know what's going to happen. I have the feeling that something is broken. If you don't put the player in when you need to win, something happens," he said.
