Barcelona striker Joao Felix insists he bears no grudge against Atletico Madrid fans.

Felix remains on-loan at Barca from Atletico, but there's no chance of a return given the attitude of the Atleti support.

The Portugal international scored in Sunday's 3-0 win at Atletico on a day when his plaque outside the stadium was vandalised, a shirt bearing his name was burned and he was booed throughout the game.

"As I said before, the fans in the stands do not know what happened here during the time I have been here," said Flix afterwards.

"What they say from the outside is that I don't get along well with my former teammates, and that's not true, as you could see, I was just now talking to Samuel (Lino) and (Thomas) Lemar, and everyone who passed by hugged me, come to talk to me and asked how I was, my family and everything else.

"So you can see I have nothing against them and they have nothing against me."
