João Félix moved to Barcelona 20 days ago. Yesterday, in the Champions League against Antwerp, scored twice and assisted Lewandowski. But it is more than that. The 23-year-old Portuguese player finally arrived to a club with a playstyle that suits him and Barcelona gets the missing piece to their squad.

Félix has superior technical qualities that fit like a glove in the Blaugrana team. On this first match of the Champions League (as in the previous match against Betis) he showed why.

Movement and football IQ allow him to read the game and to explore spaces between the opposition midfield and defensive lines. Vision, creativity, decision making, passing and technique help him to control the ball easily, know where other players are, find passing lines and make combinations or assists. Finally, his positioning, composure and finishing are top notch enable him to position and finish well.

Against the Belgian side he showed how to do all these things:

2 shots

2 goals

1 assist

33/35 passes completed with a 94% accuracy!!!

Royal Antwerp wasn’t a tough opponent. Still, João Félix has arrived in Barcelona less than 3 weeks ago. Let’s hope he finally shows all the talent he has.
