Atletico Madrid defender Felipe has no doubts about the quality of Joao Felix.

Like Felix, Felipe also arrived at Atletico this summer from Portugal.

"He is a very smart player, fast and undoubtedly one of the best in the world. From Benfica it was possible to see great potential, and now I hope he will be very successful at Atletico Madrid because it will be good for him and the whole team," Felipe told Globoesporte, who also spoke of his own move.

"It was a childhood dream that I had and, thank God, I'm fulfilling it. I worked to be in a great club in Brazil, to act in Europe, to reach the Brazilian team, I am a privileged one.

"To reach a level where I am in one of the biggest clubs in the world, who are always fighting for titles, is the biggest opportunity of my career. I have been able to learn and evolve a lot in recent years and I hope to achieve all my goals here."
