Felix joined Atletico from Benfica in the summer of 2019. The Portugal international was expected to be a huge success at the Spanish club, but the 21-year-old has not always been played to his best position and not allowed to play the way he normally does under manager Diego Simeone.

Last season s runners-up Liverpool overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to reach the final with an incredible 4-0 win against Barcelona at Anfield on Tuesday.

It s really not about me, it s really about the club, said Klopp, whose Liverpool will face Tottenham in the June 1 final. We all have to make the best of the circumstances that we have. That s what we try. If that leads to silverware then wonderful, but we cannot do more.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters will reserve judgement on Chelsea s spending until seeing what they do in subsequent transfer windows.
After a busy first window following the May 2022 takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, Chelsea went even further in January, signing eight players for an approximate total of £300million, including a Premier League record £106.8m on Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.
Speaking at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit, Masters was asked about the Blues spending, and was not in the mood to pass judgement.
I m not here to defend [them], he said. The new owners have owned the club for less than a year, they ve had two transfer windows, and you need to judge the football club after three or four years.

Market: Blackburn Rovers win
Odds: 7/10 @
Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways, Blackburn will welcome Peterborough to Ewood Park on Wednesday night.
Starting with the hosts, after coming from behind and grabbing a point at Bristol City over the weekend, Blackburn will be glad to make a return to home soil here. Still with their sights set on trying to clinch a play-off spot this season, Tony Mowbray s men should be smelling the chance to find a boost on Wednesday night. Heading into the international break with a thumping 3-1 win at home against Sheffield United, the Rovers do appear to have largely put their October blip behind them. With their sole defeat from their last five Championship matchups coming against title contenders Fulham, Mowbray…
After an unwelcome international break the view of many, Premier League football returns this weekend with plenty to decide at both ends of the table.
A gruelling clash between title-chasing Manchester City and top-four hopefuls Liverpool kicks things off on Saturday, with league leaders Arsenal hosting Leeds United later in the day and potentially having the opportunity to extend their lead at the summit.
Bukayo Saka is once again one to watch at Emirates Stadium, having maintained his fine form over the international break on England duty, and it would be wise to draft him into your fantasy squad if he is not yet in the side.
Elsewhere, Kai Havertz s resurgence is one to keep an eye on, while Danny Ings and Jack Harrison are also worth a punt.
Using Opt…
Colombia boss Carlos Queiroz issued an ominous warning to defending Copa America champions Chile ahead of a much-anticipated quarter-final in Sao Paulo.
Colombia have hit the ground running in Brazil and were the only nation to win all three matches in the group stages. That they did so without conceding a goal will only add to the confidence in the Colombia camp as they prepare to face a Chile side who have won the last two Copa America titles.
Queiroz is convinced there is more to come from his team, though, insistent that they are just a work in progress at the moment.
We re a long way from the football we want to see, he said ahead of the last-eight clash on Friday.
Speaking about the depth of his squad, Queiroz added: I have a beautiful but very dif…
