Joao Felix will be 'one of the best', says Atletico team-mate Oblak

Portuguese prodigy Joao Felix can become 'one of the best', according to Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

Atletico beat Leganes 1-0 in La Liga on Sunday courtesy of a second-half goal from Vitolo, who was played in by €120 million (£109m/$134m) signing Felix for the decisive strike.

Oblak heaped praise on the 19-year-old's performance while hailing the team's game management across a contest in which they survived 10 attempts on goal from Leganes.

"I knew he had great talent, great potential," Oblak said of the Portugal international, who joined from Benfica in the recent off-season.
