'Oh my god, you're leaving the team like that?' AT Madrid fan angered by Felix Chelsea's cheap transfer, trash attack on commemorative plate in front of home stadium

Atletico Madrid (AT Madrid) home fans in Spain's Primera Liga are in anger. João Félix (25) seems to have felt betrayed by João Félix (25) who completely transferred to Chelsea in the English Premier League after receiving a discounted transfer fee at the end of the summer transfer market.
At the end of the day, AT Madrid's home fans are rambling to damage the Felix memorial in front of their home stadium. I poured out cigarette butts and trash, and even spitting randomly, making Felix's memorial plate dirty to the level of destruction. I can guess the magnitude of the anger.
British media Daily Mail reported on the 22nd (Korea time) 'AT Madrid home fans are destroying Felix's 100-game travel commemorative plate installed in front of Metropolitano Stadium. It's because Felix has been traded to Chelsea at the club's highest-ever discount,' the report said.
Félix, a striker from Portugal's national team, was once called the `second Cristiano Ronaldo' and received high expectations. AT Madrid acquired Felix from Benfica, Portugal, for a whopping 115 million pounds (about 11.1 billion won) in July 2019. At that time, it was the highest transfer fee in AT Madrid's history.
Felix, who joined AT Madrid with such high expectations, seemed to become the team's star at once. However, as a result, Felix was unsuccessful at AT Madrid. From the 2019-2020 season to the 2021-2022 season, he still performed as a star player of the team. He had injuries in the 2021-2022 season, but he returned in the second half and played 35 games in the season, becoming the team's player of the year.
However, his performance has declined sharply since the 2022-2023 season. The decisive reason is his feud with Diogo Simeone. In the end, Felix played only 20 league games (11 starts) and started away from AT Madrid. He was loaned to Chelsea in the latter half of the 2022-2023 season and spent the 2023-2024 season on loan at FC Barcelona.

The problem is that the transfer fee Chelsea paid AT Madrid is too low. The BBC reported that Chelsea paid AT Madrid 45 million pounds (about 78.7 billion won) as Felix's transfer fee. Daily Mail says 'AT Madrid sold Felice for £42.7 million. As a result, the Spanish club has accepted a large amount of losses,' the report said. In the end, AT Madrid lost at least 70 million pounds (about 122.4 billion won).
AT Madrid fans were angry when Felice left for Chelsea after causing such devastating damage to the club. Moreover, Felix is ready to make Chelsea his home after the transfer. There is no better place than Chelsea. "I'm the perfect team to shine on." Anger reached its peak when he said how he felt about joining the team.

Felix has made 131 appearances in a total of 131 official matches, including 96 La Liga matches, at AT Madrid. However, home fans cursed Felix by spitting and spitting on the floorboard, a symbol of honor. Felix is now officially the AT Madrid 'enemy'.
