The Portuguese star had a forgettable performance in Barcelona’s early morning victory.

This morning, Barcelona visited Barbastro’s field for the Round of 32 in the Copa del Rey. Despite facing a lower-tier opponent, Coach Xavi Hernandez remained cautious and fielded several key players.

As a result, Barcelona had little trouble gaining the advantage over the home team, but Barbastro also put up a resilient performance and almost caused an upset. In the end, Blaugrana advanced to the next round with a narrow 3-2 victory.

Notably, Joao Felix was also chosen by Xavi to start in this match. In theory, Felix’s class clearly surpassed all players from Barbastro. However, in reality, the Atletico Madrid-affiliated star delivered an ineffective performance and failed to leave any positive impressions on the field.

Despite Felix’s efforts with a total of 7 shot attempts, he couldn’t find the back of the net. According to Fotmob statistics, Felix even failed to provide a goal-scoring opportunity with a 0% success rate in 5 attempted dribbles against Barbastro.

In addition, he disappointed greatly by losing 6 out of 7 dual challenges, not executing any accurate crosses, and losing ball control 15 times.

It can be said that the only highlight Felix left on the field was an unrecognized goal
