Fans go wild after Joao Felix pulls off nutmeg on Antonio Rudiger

• Joao Felix enjoyed a good individual performance against Real Madrid
• And the Portuguese confidently slipped the ball past Antonio Rudiger - through his legs
• El Clasico remains one of the biggest fixtures in club football

Joao Felix's shocking move to Barcelona set tongues wagging over the summer, and now fans are beginning to see exactly why the Spanish champions signed the Portuguese from Atletico Madrid.

Appearing in his first El Clasico on Saturday afternoon, the 23-year-old showed what he can do.

In the 28th minute, the 23-year-old found himself with the ball at his feet in Real Madrid's half and facing Antonio Rudiger.

Incredibly, he not only beat the former Chelsea defender - he nutmegged him! That's confidence and skill for you!

From there, he evades the challenge of Dani Carvajal, before engaging in a footrace with the Spaniard, as the Real Madrid captain desperately tries to stop Felix in his tracks.
