Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was impressed by Joao Felix in Portugal's World Cup victory over Ghana.

Simeone and Felix have been at odds during the season.

But the coach said last night: "I saw him very well.

"It is an ideal tournament for him, short, where you can see the beauty, the speed, where you fall in love with players like him.

"He played with a lot of personality, playing accordingly with what the team needed and has participated in all three goals."
