João Félix played his first minutes of the season on Sunday, replacing Antoine Griezmann for the final half hour in Atletico Madrid’s 2-1 victory away at Espanyol in La Liga.

The Portugal international missed the early stages of the season following ankle surgery, carried out just days after the Seleção’s defeat to Belgium in the European Championships. Having struggled with the problem for much of last season, an operation was deemed inevitable and Félix says the procedure has been successful.

On a weekend of high output for Portuguese goalscorers across Europe, some of Portugal’s best-known exports hit the back of the net in the continent’s top leagues. With much of the headlines taken by Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva in England, there were also major stories in Italy, Spain, Germany and beyond as Luso players struck in 13 different countries!

Gonçalo Guedes is enjoying a promising spell with Valencia, and his goal in victory at Osasuna briefly took Los Ches top of the table in Spain. Meanwhile, a seven-goal thriller in the Bundesliga saw Borussia Dortmund overcome Bayer Leverkusen with the help of a vintage Raphaël Guerreiro free-kick, while Rafael Leão has goals in consecutive games for AC Milan after opening the scoring in their win over Lazio.

José Mourinho conducted a classic run down the touchline to celebrate Roma’s stoppage-time winner against Sassuolo on Sunday night, as the Gialorossi went top of Serie A and maintained their 100% start to the season.

Stephan El Shaarawy’s 91^st-minute goal at the Stadio Olimpico gave Roma a 2-1 win over Sassuolo on a difficult evening for Mourinho’s side. Rui Patricio drew widespread praise for his performance in helping the club from the capital overcome an impressive Sassuolo side, while for Mourinho the chance to mark his 1,000^th game in management with three points clearly meant more than he had previously conceded.

Cristiano Ronaldo described his first match back in the colours of Manchester United as “unbelievable” after scoring twice in a 4-1 win over Newcastle United to send the Red Devils top of the Premier League.

Ronaldo twice put United ahead at the Theatre of Dreams on his comeback, after which fellow Seleção star Bruno Fernandes scored a sensational long-range goal to cap a perfect afternoon for the Portuguese duo.
