Joao Felix launched back at a fan who suggested he should injure Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann in training, The Sun.
The Frenchman made a dramatic return to the Wanda Metro Politano on the last day of the summer transfer deadline.
And the 30-year-old has come under huge criticisms from fans as he was booed and jeered during his home debut in the Champions League draw against FC Porto.
In a dramatic twist, Felix who could be dropped from the pecking order following the arrival of Greizmann was told by a fan to get him injured in training.

FootballIn a video clip released by El Golazo de Gol the Portuguese forward told the fan to have more respect for the World Cup winner.
A journalist named Javi Gomez quoted the fan saying:
"Joao, step on Griezmann, you have to injure him, it can't be that he starts before you."
And Felix responding to the comment:
"You should have more respect for Griezmann."
The supporter then added:
"Don't forget to go for Griezmann's shin, Joao."
Atletico boss Diego Simeone has come in strong defence of Griezmann following his return club after dumping them in the summer of 2019.
He said:
"They (the media) are making a movie and a morbid situation that clearly gives us the importance of having recovered an extraordinary footballer like him and that we can enjoy.
"We hope that he gets better and can respond to the people that criticise him.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Thomas Tuchel has criticised Saul Niguez's debut for Chelsea during his side's 3-0 comfortable win over Aston Villa on Saturday, September 11.
Niguez completed a stunning switch to Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day, linking up with the Blues from Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan deal.
While the transfer appeared as a decent piece of business, Tuchel was not impressed with the Spaniard's debut in his new colours.
