Hi there, welcome back to GoalNiza channel. João Félix is a Portuguese professional
footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Atlético Madrid and the Portugal national team.
While his peers Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, who are around the same age,
have been dominating the headlines in recent seasons, there has been slightly less fanfare
about Felix. In case you were wondering who he was and what sort of player he is,
GoalNiza brings you everything you need to know about this footballer.
João Félix was born to parents Carlos Sequeira and Carla Felix. Both of them were a teacher.
He has a younger brother Hugo, born in 2004 started out by playing football with Joao.
The Portuguese football player Joao Felix has been dating a 19-year-old model
and social media influencer Margarida Conceiro.
They started dating in the year 2019 and has been planning for their wedding in the future.
Félix initially trained at Porto's youth ranks before moving to rivals Benfica in 2015. He
began playing for the latter's reserve team a year later and was promoted to the first-team in 2018,
making his professional debut at age 17. He then starred as a goalscorer and helped
Benfica win the league title in his first and only season with them, and was awarded
Primeira Liga's Best Young Player of the Year and the Golden Boy award. Internationally,
he became the youngest ever player to score a hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League, aged 18.
Félix's performances sparked the interest of several European clubs, with Atlético Madrid
signing him in 2019 for a club-record transfer worth €126 million. Shortly after, Félix was
listed among the shortlist for the Ballon d'Or and finished third for the Kopa Trophy in 2019.
Félix is a former Portugal youth international, representing his country at under-18, under-19,
and under-21 levels. He earned his first cap for the senior national team,
during the semi-finals of the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals
As of 2022, his net worth is estimated at $50 million
which mainly comes from his football career.
The young footballer has 3 cars in his garage. The first one is Audi RS7 which was worth $115.000.
With its sleek looks, sharp handling and class-leading cabin tech,
the Audi RS7 is one of the best all-around luxury-performance cars you can buy today.
The second he owns is BMW M8 which cost him $130.000.
Joao uses this one more regularly than his Audi because he like its design
and the top speed of 190mph with the optional M Driver's package.
And the third one he has is BMW X6 which he bought for $70.000.
This is a good luxury midsize SUV. It has standard all-wheel drive (or xDrive) and offers
several strong engine options. Handling is playful, and fuel economy is decent.
Asked if he preferred Spanish or English football, he chose La Liga,
before eventually going on to say 'I haven't had time to think about [the interest from
Real Madrid and Barcelona]. They are two of the best teams in the world which I have
followed since I was little. But right now I want to be here. I feel great at Benfica.'
His idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. In 2009, when Ronaldo joined Real
Madrid and began elevating himself to levels of supernatural ability,
Felix was nine years old. Fast forward to 2021 and they're in the same Portugal team;
Ronaldo now 36 years old and Felix, the pretender to his throne, 21.
