Atletico Madrid fans have defaced the plaque of Joao Felix outside the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Portugal striker has infuriated the Atleti support after declaring an ambition to play for Barcelona

It's now emerged fans have vandalised his plaque, crossing out his name. The message 'Va Al Barca' was left, which translates to 'Go To Barca'.
