Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix: My 16-year-old brother Hugo does things I couldn't at his age

Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix says his 16-year-old brother Hugo is capable of doing things he was unable to do at the same age.

Hugo is in the youth ranks at Benfica, the club Joao Felix won the 2018-19 Primeira Liga with before leaving for Atletico in a €126 million (£113m/$142m) move last July.
