João Félix has reflected positively on his loan spell at Barcelona, saying he remains happy to have worn the club’s shirt despite winning no titles during his time there.

In comments reported by Yahoo Sports and attributed to Diario AS, Félix described playing for Barcelona as a source of immense happiness and a childhood dream shared with his father and brother.

He praised Yamal’s playing style and approach to matches, saying watching him brings enjoyment. The report does not provide a date for the interview.
