He then said that "when I left, I knew that it was very difficult to leave this Club, here we are a family, I never got to let go of Atlético. I have the feeling never having left."

"LaLiga has something special. Here, all teams play very well and the atmosphere at the stadiums are very intense. In Spain is where I feel most comfortable and where I wanted to be at all times," Filipe said to conclude the press conference.
