19-year-old skiller, the next rising Portuguese footballer, the next Ronaldo when he retires, these are just some of the names that have been given to this incredible player already and he’s only been at Atletico for a few months. He should be the best player for them since they spent £112.9 million for the youngster, however instead of being like others, he hasn’t seemed to disappoint yet. This forward is going to create history at Madrid and could be the best player in the world. Could be a contender this year for the Ballon d’Or.
Most recent game has been involved in was the 7 – 3 on slaughter against Real Madrid and this isn’t an easy game for them, however they made it look so much easier. Joao was showing the world and the Spanish league what he’s really about, he will be in the starting eleven this season… Courtois won’t be the reserves after that game! Getting subbed off for Navas! He has the potential to become great already, but this could be too soon for the youngster!

He peaked to early on in his career and wasn’t the same when he got to the age of 25, as Mbappe is currently 20 and not looking like he’s slowing down and Fliex is still improving but could be at his peak already for all we know.
What will happen to him?
