Atleti fans deface Felix plaque after Chelsea move
Briefly

João Félix has now completed his move to Chelsea on a seven-year contract after an inconsistent five-year spell at Atlético Madrid, where he struggled to adapt to coach Diego Simeone's style of play.
In an act of disgruntlement, Atlético Madrid fans vandalised Félix's newly installed hall of fame plaque after his transfer, covering it with litter and an anti-message.
This incident is not isolated; previous players like Thibaut Courtois and Antoine Griezmann faced similar backlash from fans following their switches to rival clubs, highlighting the passionate rivalry.
The hall of fame plaque, a recognition for players with over 100 appearances, has a history of being targeted, reflecting Atlético fans' strong feelings toward player loyalty.
