Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez has revealed his delight with the form of Joao Felix.

Joao Felix who struggled on loan with Chelsea last season, has been a very different player at Barcelona.

Martinez admits Felix is a different player since he joined Barcelona on loan from Atletico Madrid.

He told El Larguero: “Joao Félix is a talent… I haven’t seen many players who can play inside, outside, who have that way of interpreting the overflow situation, the way he combines with attacking players…

“What I have seen now is a Joao Félix who feels important, who is decisive in his club.

“The truth is that he has given another dimension to Barca. I also have to say that the first international period that we worked, that was in March, from then on I saw a very big difference with his experience in the United Kingdom.”
