Joao Felix named LaLiga Santander Player of the Month for November

Joao Felix has been named the LaLiga Santander Player of the Month for November. The Portuguese played a key role throughout the month for an Atletico Madrid side who made it a clean sweep and closed in on the LaLiga Santander top spot.

The striker netted four goals in four games in November and is now, level with Uruguay's Luis Suarez, the team's top league scorer this season. Felix's goals were instrumental in Atletico dispatching CA Osasuna and Cadiz FC and, although he failed to find the back of the net, the frontman also put in good performances in the victories over FC Barcelona and Valencia CF.

Despite his youth, Joao Felix has demonstrated unprecedented levels of quality and self-confidence for his age, which have helped put his team in the upper echelons of the LaLiga Santander table.

The Portuguese came out on top in the voting over the other candidates shortlisted for the award: Jaume Domenech (Valencia CF), Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad), Youssef En-Nesyri (Sevilla FC), Edgar Badia (Elche CF) and Marcos Andre (Real Valladolid CF).
