New Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix has been called the "next Ronaldo", with many believing the 19-year-old is the best youngster to come out of Portugal since the Real Madrid record goalscorer.

"We all know that Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player," he said, according to the Daily Star.
"He's the best in the world now and maybe the best ever. When we play with Portugal he does speak about Madrid.
"He spent a great part of his life here and he does speak about it quite a lot and about how much he liked it.
"But I'm here to make my own history and be remembered as Joao Felix. Of course it is a great comparison, but Cristiano is Cristiano and I want to be myself."
