Graded GEM MINT 9.5 by BGS. One of European soccer's most exciting young talents, in an early career appearance. A stunning Panini “Unlimited Potential” offering starring Portugal and Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix is offered in this lot. The skillful attacker honed his talents in the youth academies of Portuguese giants Porto and Benfica, before earning a record-breaking €126 million transfer to Atletico in 2019. Felix has developed nicely under Diego Simeone, teaming with Luis Suarez to lead Atletico’s charge toward the 2020-21 La Liga title. So far, Felix’s efforts for Madrid have been rewarded, with the creative playmaker earning his first La Liga Player of the Month award in November of 2020. This Panini card was intended to celebrate Felix’s first UEFA European Football Championship tournament in 2020; however, due to the global coronavirus pandemic the tournament was postponed until the summer of 2021. This unique card shows Felix controlling a ball with his chest in front of a Black Prizm background. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 10, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9.5, Surface: 9.5. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered “1/1.” Gem Mint condition.
