Joao Felix Scores as Barcelona Wins 3-0 Against Atletico Madrid

2026-06-27 · Joao Felix · Match Report

Joao Felix scored Barcelona's opening goal after 38 minutes in a 3-0 win against Atletico Madrid on Sunday night. The Portuguese player's goal set Barcelona on their way to a comprehensive victory against his parent club.

What happened?

Atletico Madrid fans vandalised Joao Felix's plaque outside the Metropolitano stadium ahead of the match, with litter and cigarette butts emptied onto the display. Some supporters even burned a shirt bearing his name.

The hostile reception was likely due to Joao Felix's comments about Barcelona after his loan to the Catalan club, calling the move a "dream" and suggesting the style of football would suit him better.

Why it matters for Joao Felix

Joao Felix's goal was a significant moment in the match, and his performance was praised by coach Xavi after the game. "He played a really good match," Xavi said. "Also without the ball. He made the difference. He was extra motivated."

The win was an important one for Barcelona, who are now up to second in LaLiga after Girona lost against Getafe. Joao Felix's goal was followed by second-half goals from Robert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez.

What comes next?

The victory will be a boost to Barcelona's confidence as they continue their LaLiga campaign. Joao Felix will be looking to build on his performance and continue to make an impact for his team.

The incident with the vandalised plaque is not the first time an Atletico Madrid player has been targeted by fans. Thibaut Sanchez and Hugo Sanchez, who both went on to play for Real Madrid after leaving Atletico, have had their plaques vandalised by fans in recent years.

Joao Felix's loan to Barcelona has been a significant talking point in the football world, and his performance on Sunday night will only add to the discussion. The Portuguese player's future will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.

Barcelona's next match will be a crucial one as they look to continue their push for the top of the LaLiga table. Joao Felix will be hoping to play a key role in the team's success and prove himself as a valuable asset to the club.
