During the break of the match between Naples and Milan, a moment of tension between Kyle Walker and João Félix captured the attention of fans and became viral. The English defender, currently loaned by Manchester City to the Rossonero club, approached the Portuguese striker to scold him, criticizing a supposed lack of collective game.
With Milan losing 2-0, Walker caught Felix to attention and, in an assertive tone, said to him, “Pass the ball, here are no Messis!” The Portuguese player listened to his heads with his head down in an episode that quickly spread through social networks.
On social networks, the scene generated debate, with many supporters defending the Portuguese international. Some even shared videos that show Felix to distribute passes during the game, denying Walker’s criticism.

Already the English side also did not escape criticism, with nearby publications to Milan to give him negative note for the exhibition and pointing to him as responsible for Lukaku’s goal, which expanded the Neapolitan advantage on 19 minutes.
