Felipe turned 31 and he did so right at the time when Atlético are returning to training after the break because of the coronavirus.
The Brazilian arrived last summer to Atlético, but he is already one of Simeone's essential players and one of the fans' favourites.
The numbers speak for themselves. Felipe has played 31 official games: 21 in La Liga, 7 in the Champions League, 2 in the Spanish Supercup and one in the Copa del Rey. He has also scored two goals (against Levante and Lokomotiv Moscow).
And the arrival of the defender was not without controversy since he cost 20 million euros and the Atlético fans considered that it was a high amount for a footballer who was already 30 years old.
However, Felipe has earned the status he now enjoys and has become Godín's successor, finding himself in the prime of his career despite his age.
The sky is the limit for the defender and he continues to dream about the Champions League and the World Cup, as he said in statements to 'Esporte IG'.
