Portugal coach Fernando Santos has sought to ease the hype around Benfica whiz Joao Felix.

Many say the youngster is the best seen in Portugal since Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Santos said: "They are two players with great qualities, but they are completely different, there are selected players who can reach the national team at 16, 17 or 18 years old and they are very few ... Futre, Chalana, Cristiano ... They have a lot of quality, otherwise they would not reach the senior team at this age."

On comparing Felix and Ronaldo, he continued: "All the players that are in the squad are players of a huge quality, now, you cannot compare things that are not comparable, they do not have the same characteristics, they are two players with great qualities. But they are completely different."
