Joao Felix’s Emblematic Celebration: A Statement of Commitment to Barcelona’s Cause
In a notable celebration, Joao Felix kissed the Barcelona badge after scoring the winning goal against Real Betis, sparking discussions about his potential long-term commitment to the club. This gesture raises the question: Is he the first loanee to express such devotion?
Atletico Madrid president, Enrique Cerezo, had previously suggested that if Joao Felix were to kiss the crest, it would signify a genuine connection to Barcelona. The recent celebration by the 24-year-old suggests that these sentiments go beyond mere words.
While expressing a desire to stay at Barcelona beyond the current season, Joao Felix understands that his performances in the second half of the campaign will play a pivotal role in determining the club’s decision on his future.
With 7 goals and 5 assists in 26 appearances for Blaugrana, Joao Felix’s on-field contributions are making a compelling case for a more permanent association with Barcelona.
