      ESPN and the media should give CR7 more credit , Last year he scored 1 goal in 26 matches played with 14 full matches played and it was a penalty and won Bench D'Or . Season before that he scored 18 goals against Norwich City and Brentford with 0 goals 0 assists 0 chances created against Liverpool or Man city and won Garbage D'Or and he also assaulted a child with disability and won Criminal D'Or . Now he is busy blaming every teammate every coach from every club and country for his failure and won Failure D'Or as a penaldo fan my only option is to call everything "Rigged" with 0 legal documents and fake theories to create my own happiness .

      Why mot talk about the match. Why use all the time to talk about Felix. Atleti played great the new lad barrios was so good in midfield. And azpili played so well.

      That’s been the story Memphis Depay’s career in European football. His move to Manchester United was a bit too early in some sense because he was unable to perform well and he struggled there big time and then he goes to Lyon in Ligue 1 where he managed to reboot his career and was in his best form yet as a player. At Barcelona he started off with a bang but after the arrival of Xavi his game time was limited as he struggled with injuries and the lack of playing time convinced him in joining Atletico Madrid last winter where there he’s been ok but for a player of his caliber you expect a lot more consistency from him and that has been the case with Memphis Depay and it’s not just his failed move to Manchester United and his excellence at Lyon but it’s been his mixed stints with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid currently. He’s set to the highest scorer of all time in the history of the Netherlands and he’s been scoring goals regularly for his country and we know he can produce moments and he’s an excellent player but a player that doesn’t do it on a regular basis and no matter how good a player is consistency is the key.

      Memphis has been consistently very good at a national level for the Dutch team, at Olympique Lyon. At Barcelona and Athletico injuries kept him from a consistent performance, not mentality.

      I've never seen a player given so much leeway as Joao Felix. What makes him worth this much faith? Just because we paid a fortune for him doesn't mean he's a great player. Can't blame Simeone when so many others have flourished under him.

      Joao Felix will most likely end up on a one year loan back at Benfica with no fee paid by the portuguese club, and perhaps Joao having to lower his wages for it to happen. Most likely happen on the last days of the transfer window. Hopefully he gets his mojo back so we can trick some PL club into thinking hes worth 70 or 80 million.
