Atletico Madrid loanee to Barcelona Joao Felix failed to turn around his misfortunes against Real Madrid as Barcelona lost their most recent El-Clasico at Santiago Bernabeu
The Catalan giants lost the El-Clasico four times in the bounce as they cowered under the Los Blancos’ star-studded side.
While the game was greeted with controversy for Lamine Jamal’s disallowed goal that would tied the score, it is pertinent to note Joao Felix must have been another deadlock Barcelona had to break to beat Real Madrid. How?
Joao Felix’s statistics against Barcelona have been mind-boggling and weird. Regarded as one of the finest attacking midfielders, it appears his luck has failed to shine when he hits the grindstones of the Madrid and LaLiga juggernaut.
He has made 11 competitive appearances against the Los Blancos and has recorded 0 wins with 2 ending in a draw while 9 have resulted in defeats.
Most striking about the awry stats is the fact that in his over 500 minutes against the LaLiga and European giants, he has failed to score a single goal.
