Atletico Madrid has had a lot of problems with Joao Felix since the summer. While he was still with the team, he said he wanted to join Barcelona. He did end up getting a loan deal with Barcelona for the season.
In addition, Felix made statements about the styles of play of Barcelona and Atleti before last weekend’s match, which made the Rojiblanco fans even more angry. In the end, the Portuguese player scored the game-winning goal, and his joy seemed to be aimed at Atleti even more.
Because of all of these things, Alberto Garcia, who speaks for the International Union of Supporters Clubs of Atletico Madrid, put out a statement against Felix in which he spoke for the group (via Sport).

“It turns out he’s been a Barcelona fan since he was a kid and celebrates goals like the game is a championship.” He scored his second goal in La Liga, so he’s not having a bad season.
“He is being rude and unappreciative to fans who have been there for him and helped him. He has made people angry at the Metropolitano, and we don’t want to see him wearing an Atletico Madrid shirt again. The club doesn’t deserve him, and he doesn’t understand the people or the club.
Felix and the fans of Atletico Madrid don’t get along at all, and the rematch between the two teams on March 17 at the Civitas Metropolitano is sure to be a heated affair.
