Joao Felix’s inaugural goal for Barcelona prompted a fan to express his jubilation by streaking through the heart of Lisbon, completely unclothed.
The former Chelsea player, who had been on loan at Atletico Madrid, made the transition to Barcelona during the summer transfer window. He received his first starting opportunity from manager Xavi in the match against Real Betis on Saturday.
In the preceding week, a supporter took to Twitter, addressing the forward with a promise: “If Joao Felix scores, I will streak through the Marques de Pombal roundabout.”
Joao Felix, displaying confidence in his abilities, responded to the fan’s challenge, encouraging him to fulfill his pledge.
True to his word, the forward later scored Barcelona’s opening goal, skillfully maneuvering past goalkeeper Rui Silva before sending the ball into the net. With Joao Felix on the scoresheet, the fan faithfully carried out his promise.
Known as “Yazor” on social media, he posted a video of himself shedding his attire inside a car before embarking on a nude lap around Lisbon’s Marques de Pombal roundabout. Alongside the video, he wrote, “Felix, you did your part, and I will do mine.”
Joao Felix quote-tweeted the video, responding with “Said and done” followed by three laughing emojis.
In a clever move, the Portuguese star allowed the ball to pass through his legs, setting up Robert Lewandowski to score Barcelona’s second goal.
Following this, Xavi’s reigning champions dominated the game, with Ferran Torres converting a free-kick and further goals coming from Raphinha and Joao Cancelo.
After the match, Barcelona’s manager praised his new Portuguese talents, Cancelo and Felix, stating, “We are talking about two players whose individual quality is beyond doubt. You see them train and you see their greatness.”
He added, “Cancelo comes from a coach (Pep Guardiola) who for me is the best and he interprets everything very well. We have spoken to him and he has understood.”
“They raise the quality of the team, which in general has been very good.” he concluded.
