Man City ace Bernardo: Atletico Madrid wrong choice for Felix

Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva feels Joao Felix was wrong to move to Atletico Madrid.

Both are former Benfica players and Bernardo is happy seeing Felix impressing on-loan with Barcelona.

He told A Bola: “I arrived at a club to which my qualities adapted, and he didn't. It's not a criticism of Atletico.

"He went to the wrong place. I, perhaps, wouldn't have triumphed at Atletico either. I would have tried to adapt and followed the coach's idea, but it wouldn't have been ideal for me.

“Now I'm happy because I see him happy and in an atmosphere more in line with his game (at Barcelona). He's much stronger than he was a few years ago."
