He, like any other professional, must have someone he looks up to, and to him, that person is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo. They are both Portuguese and are both in the same national team. He once said,

"Cristiano Ronaldo is an idol of mine since childhood, an example in all aspects for me. When I was still a child, he was already the best footballer in the world. He is unique and unrepeatable, and he is writing the history of football."

How did Joao's career start?

Joao, like most football stars, started playing the sport as soon as he could walk. He developed what his mother described as "an addiction to the ball." Joao Felix later converted his parents' house, primarily the living room, into a football field. Later, he was joined by his younger brother Hugo, who shared his love of football and made their parents wary of placing breakable items in the room.

Which football academy was Joao Felix at?

In 2007, he joined the FC Porto academy as an eight-year-old. After that, Joao trained for five years at Porto academy. He had to cope with exhausting schedules that included hours of daily shuttles between Viseu (his family's home town) and Porto (the academy's location).

He quickly established himself on Porto grounds and rose to the position of captain of his division. He also became captain of his team, which had players like Diogo Dalot and Diogo Leite. At the height of his involvement with FC Porto, Joao was faced with a lack of playing time, which prompted him to leave the club and accept an offer from Porto's rival, Benfica.

Joao Felix's girlfriend

The Atlético Madrid striker has been dating model Magui Corceiro for several years. However, in mid-2022, Magui was accused of cheating on Felix with fellow footballer, Porro, but she denied it.

According to sources, a video went viral of Porro, at the end of a game, where he ignored the pleas of several children in the stands and instead gave his shirt to Magui. Another image captured from inside a nightclub circulated, with some observers believing the couple was kissing.

"If I wanted to be kissing someone in a close moment, it would not be in Lust, much less in the VIP area with that little balcony and in view of the entire nightclub." Magui said, refuting the claims.
