Joao Felix: Suffering is Atletico Madrid's mantra Atletico Madrid He praised his teammates

Atletico Madrid and Joao Felix had to grit their teeth on Wednesday evening at Anfield, but they fought and secured their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The Portuguese started and played 103 minutes on the night, in what was his biggest game since joining Los Rojiblancos.

"It [suffering] is Atletico's mantra," he said after the game.

"We'll always continue like this, be it in the Champions League or LaLiga.

"It'll always be like this."

Jan Oblak was phenomenal on the night and his excellence was recognised by the teenager.

"Oblak helps us a lot," the forward added.

"Today he was essential."

Felix was gifted possession by Adrian just moments after Liverpool scored their second goal and he kept his cool to tee up Marcos Llorente for what proved to be the decisive strike.

"I gave the ball to Marcos, but he did the rest," the Portuguese humbly said.

"He did the important thing."
