Joao Felix was again the name on everyone's lips as he stepped up once more for Atletico Madrid in their 2-1 defeat of Juventus, but Thomas Lemar also delivered the goods as he continues to grow into the setup this summer.
When the ball arrives at Joao Felix's feet you know something is going to happen, and Juventus became the latest side to fail in their attempts to restrict the Portuguese sensation. He gave another demonstration of his class at the Friends Arena, netting twice in a satisfying win.
Renan Lodi had a complicated game, arguably his most difficult in red and white. He suffered a lot defensively as Juventus looked to exploit his area, but he grew as time progressed and still did well in attack.
Jan Oblak is still incredible and he's always ready to show it for Atletico. Only Sami Khedira could overcome him in Saturday, as he couldn't react to the German's effort.
This may well be Thomas Lemar's season. Diego Simeone has given him minutes and he's showing confidence this summer. He's starting to resemble the player who shone at Monaco, and he'll be key at the Wanda Metropolitano if this keeps up.
Rodrigo Riquelme has been another to shine this summer. He never crumbled against Juventus and always looked to goal whenever the chance arose. If he keeps his head and continues to work, he could have a bright future.

Lemar with the precision. Perfectly timed run and weighted touch to finish from João Félix.

Other than Joao Felix, Lemar a standout. Has looked a lot sharper and more in synch with his teammates in this pre-season. Could be a huge boost.

when I check on google or football apps they gave it to lemar. So I’m not sure. Nonetheless, quality from Felix today.

I’ve been saying he’s been an unsung star of preseason. He’s stepped it up a lot.

I hope those Atléti fans who wrote Lemar off and wanted him gone saw his assist to João Felix goal. That's just a taste of what we will be seeing this season.
