In recent years, Atlético Madrid has been one of the most successful teams in La Liga, consistently finishing among the top three clubs in the league table. However, their performance this season has been far from impressive.
One player who has struggled to find his form is forward Antoine Griezmann, who has been plagued by injuries and has only managed to score four goals so far this season. Another player who has been struggling is forward Félix, who has scored just two goals in eight games this season.
Félix, who joined Atlético Madrid from Valencia in January 2019 for a reported fee of €55 million, has been a key player for the club over the past few seasons. He was instrumental in helping Atlético Madrid win the UEFA Champions League in 2017-18, scoring twice in the final against Juventus.
However, since then, Félix has struggled to maintain his form and has found it difficult to adapt to the high intensity of La Liga. His performances have been inconsistent, and he has failed to live up to the expectations set by his transfer fee.
Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has acknowledged that Félix has not performed at his best this season and has called on him to improve his game. The club has also hinted that they may look to bring in new players in order to strengthen their attacking options.
It remains to be seen whether Félix can turn things around and regain his form. However, it is clear that the team needs a consistent goal scorer if they hope to compete at the highest level. With the likes of Griezmann and other strikers out injured or unavailable, the pressure is on Félix to step up and deliver for Atlético Madrid.
