Felix on CR7: I told friends that he looked exactly like he did on PlayStation

Joao Felix, often dubbed the 'new Cristiano Ronaldo,' has revealed what it was like to meet the Juventus ace.

Felix was called up to the Portugal squad in March, and while he might not have made his senior debut during the international break, he was able to meet the man who he has been compared to on many occasions.

"It was weird, I had never seen him in person before," he told BTV (via A Bola).

"When I got home, I told my friends that he looked exactly like he did on the PlayStation.

"It was strange, but it was a dream come true, to be with him in the same resort."

The wonderkid was also asked about what the former United and Real Madrid star said to him, though he admitted that he couldn't remember.

"I do not even remember what he said, I simply kept on thinking that I was right there," he said.

Felix might have missed out on a chance to play for Portugal in March, but head coach Fernando Santos has called him up again for his 23-man squad for the Nations League finals.

The Portugal under-21 international has a contract with Benfica that keeps him at the club until 2023, but he does have a €120m release clause in his current deal.
