Champions League: Every game covered as Liverpool begins defense at Napoli

At just 19-years old, João Felix has the football world at his feet.The fifth most expensive footballer in history following his staggering $142 million move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid in July, Felix is already being compared to another Portuguese star, a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.Felix, who turned 19 in November last year, enjoyed a stellar debut season, scoring 15 goals for Benfica as well as becoming the first teenager ever to net a Europa League hat-trick.A race for his signature then ensued with Atletico securing one of the world’s most talented young players. But with such a huge transfer fee comes pressure, expectation, and comparisons.And though few doubt the size of Felix’s talent, the player’s former coach, Bruno Lage, says comparisons with Ronaldo, Portugual’s record goalscorer and five-time Balon d’Or winner, are “unfair”.Here’s what Felix’s former coach Bruo Lage told CNN about it all.”It’s unfair the comparisons that are made between João, who is starting his career with one of the best players of all time like Cristiano Ronaldo.”I’d like to see João be true to himself and keep the attributes which distinguish him from the others. He doesn’t have to compare himself to Ronaldo.”Benfica kicks off its Champions League campaign at home to German side RB Leipzig on Tuesday.
