Atlético de Madrid’s Joao Félix was furious after being pulled one hour into his derby with Real Madrid on Saturday.
Atlético de Madrid were 1-0 down when Diego Simeone made the decision to remove Félix and replace him with Saúl Niguez.
Felix calmly walked to the bench before taking his anger out on the stands by kicking one of the seats.
Felix was frustrated with Simeone’s decision, as his team was losing 1-0 to their rivals and he, as the club’s top scorer this season, with eight goals, five in the league, three in the Champions League, was your best chance to change the scoreboard.
Félix’s disappointment would have been exacerbated when Jan Oblak scored an own goal thanks to Dani Carvajal for Atlético not to lose the match 2-0, but lose their six-point lead over Zinedine Zidane’s men.
It is not the first time that the frustrations of an Atlético player have been captured on camera this week.
Both Luis Suárez and Saúl expressed their displeasure at being eliminated in their decisive Champions League match with RB Salzburg on Wednesday night.
However, Simeone told Movistar + that he fully understood why people like Suárez would have been upset.
He said: ‘It’s completely logical. I would also have been angry to leave the field. These are the games where you want to play the full 90 minutes.
“When they take you off the field for someone else, it’s understandable that they leave the field angry.
