Key Players

Joao Felix, Atletico Madrid

There's a lot of pressure on Joao Felix at Atletico Madrid after the club snapped him up to replacement Antoine Griezmann for €126 million (£113 million) this summer.

The 19-year-old offered an encouraging sign that he'll be able to shoulder that burden with his performance against Real, though:

He set up Diego Costa's opening goal in the first minute and scored himself after just eight minutes.

The forward then picked out Costa with a superb through ball for the Spaniard's fourth.

The Spanish Football Podcast and football writer Graham Ruthven were impressed:

Felix has pace, skill and end product already despite his tender age, so he'll be the danger man for the All-Stars to watch out for.

Carlos Vela, MLS All-Stars

Los Angeles FC star Carlos Vela will captain the All-Stars on Wednesday, having donned the armband last year, too.

The 30-year-old is having one of the best seasons of his career this year, having plundered 22 goals and 13 assists from 21 matches in MLS.

This has become a recurring sight:

The Mexican has plenty of experience of playing against Diego Simeone's side from his time with Real Sociedad, and he's in red-hot form.

However, he'll need to bury the hatchet with team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Per ESPN, the LA Galaxy striker said he is "by far" a better player than Vela and that it was a "mistake" to compare the two after netting a hat-trick in their clash earlier in July:

Ibrahimovic has 16 goals and three assists in 17 appearances this season, and the pair could form a potent partnership if they can find a way to work together.
