João Félix

Known as o Furacão for his tremendous speed and acceleration, the Atlético Madrid striker has little need of wheels, for he's got jets on his heels!

Born in Viseu, Portugal, he began his career with FC Porto’s youth system in 2008 as a nine-year old; in 2015 he joined rival Benfica’s youth academy to complete the later part of his development. After impressing for Benfica reserves, the teenage sensation was promoted to Benfica’s first-team; he made his debut on 18 August 2018 in a 2-0 win over Boavista. A week later he scored in the Lisbon derby, thus becoming the youngest player to achieve the feat. On 11 April 2019, he announced himself on the European stage with a hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt. His maiden season with Benfica was an incredible success story; the Portuguese forward had featured in 43 competitive games, finding the back of the net on 20 occasions, in addition to providing 11 assists for his teammates; the season concluded with Benfica being crowned Primeira Liga champions for the 37th time. On the International stage he represented Portugal on 3 occasions as the country were victorious in the inaugural UEFA Nations League. On 3 January 2019, Spanish powerhouse Atlético Madrid splurged an incredible €126 million (the third highest ever paid for a footballer) to secure the mercurial talents of the Portuguese wonderkid. O Furacão made his competitive debut for Los Rojiblancos on 19 August, as the club ran out 1-0 winners against Getafe. The youngster scored his first La Liga goal the following month, netting in a 3-1 win against Eibar
