Felix Sparks a Saudi Spark: Al Nassr’s Goal Machine Rewrites His Europe Story

Felix's Peak in the Saudi Pro League

Portuguese playmaker Joao Felix continues to shine for Al Nassr, the club he joined last summer, delivering a standout run that has already marked him as a top scorer in the Saudi Pro League.

Since arriving, Felix has posted the best form of his career, erasing the pale numbers of his earlier spells.

In Al Nassr colors, Felix has played 19 matches this season, bagging 17 goals and providing 6 assists.

European Numbers vs. Saudi Success

By contrast, across his stints with AC Milan and Chelsea, he managed only 10 goals and 3 assists in 41 appearances.

Those figures underline the decisive work of Jorge Jesus, who has unlocked Felix’s vast attacking potential rather than reducing him to a mere playmaker.

Jesus has argued that Felix thrives as a withdrawn striker, a role in which he excels, rather than in the traditional winger position.

Punchline: Felix scores so much that even the stadium PA system asks for his autograph on match nights.

Punchline 2: In Europe they chased glory; in Saudi Arabia he chased the ball—and the ball kept running back to the net.
