Atletico Madrid striker João Félix last night collected his Golden Boy trophy after beating the likes of Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz to the prize.

Félix, who joined Atletico from Benfica for £113m in the summer, won the award last month but received his prize in Turin.

The 20-year-old was joined by his agent Jorge Mendes at the ceremony.

Felix became the youngest player to score a Europa League hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last season and helped the Lisbon side win the Portuguese league title with 15 goals and seven assists in 21 starts.

At Atletico, he has been billed as the replacement for Antoine Griezmann, who made the switch to rivals Barcelona, and has made a bright start to life in Spain, scoring four goals in 16 games.

The award has been won by the likes of Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Paul Pogba and Mbappe in the past and Felix is the second player from Atletico to win it after Sergio Aguero in 2007.
