Joao Felix delighted for Griezmann after first goal back with Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid teammates were delighted for Antoine Griezmann after he score in victory at AC Milan.

The goal in the Champions League win at the San Siro was Griezmann's first since returning on-loan from Barcelona.

Griezmann has been well received by his teammates at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, and one player who seems especially pleased to have him around is Joao Felix. The Portuguese youngster was the first to celebrate with him in Milan and had words of praise for him after the game.

"He's a world champion, one of the best players in Atletico's history," said Joao Felix.

"He's calm. People outside talk but he's calm and doing his job."

It's not the first time that the 21-year-old has defended Griezmann recently, having chastised one critical fan after training last week.
