Joao Felix scored and assisted more frequently than Griezmann in 2018/19

Even if he denied it during his presentation, Joao Felix has come to Atletico Madrid to replace Antoine Griezmann.

The 19-year-old's statistics during the 2018/19 season with Benfica, his first in senior football, suggest he's more than capable of filling the void.

Benfica won 76.74 percent of the 43 games that Felix played last season and lost just 13.95 percent.

In those 43 games, the forward contributed a total of 20 goals and 11 assists, which sees him score 0.46 goals per match and register 0.25 assists per match.

If you compare that with Griezmann, the Frenchman scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists during the 48 games he played for Atletico Madrid last season.

Griezmann's average of 0.44 goals and 0.21 assists per match are both inferior to Felix's output during the 2018/19 campaign and provide fresh hope that all is not lost when Griezmann departs this summer.
