Leading up to the game, Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has said that if Felix scores a goal on Sunday against his parent team, he hopes he does not celebrate like he usually does.
“I hope he doesn’t celebrate if he scores a goal,” said Cerezo as quoted by SPORT.

It is said that Cerezo will be in attendance alongside Barcelona present Joan Laporta at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys during the game and while speaking about it, he had nothing but admiration for the Portuguese.
“I always think that football is a spectacle and you have to see the teams with the best players. Of course, Joao Felix is a magnificent player.”
Furthermore, he also shed light on the fact that it is “due to various circumstances, he [Felix] is not at Atlético.”
Cerezo also said that he “wouldn’t be surprised if Joao had his big afternoon, but if not, then it will be the next one.”
