Joao Felix becomes latest player to poke fun at Man City star Ruben Dias over photoshoot

Atletico Madrid and Portugal striker Joao Felix has become the latest player to mock Ruben Dias after he took part in a photoshoot for Men's Health Magazine in Portugal.

When Dias initially announced that he would be featuring in the November edition of the publication, Manchester City trio Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish were quick to tease the defender. Bernardo originally drew attention to the post by tagging Cancelo.

The full-back replied: " Bernardo can't take it no more mate, what has he come to." Grealish then jumped in on the action and simply responded: "F*** off."

Dias' agency, Polaris Sports, opted to promote their client's work with Men's Health in an Instagram post which showed some behind the scenes shots of the photoshoot. Unfortunately for the 25-year-old, this opened the door for more mickey-taking at the defender's expense, this time from Felix.

The La Liga striker responded to the Instagram post jokingly: "Glad they wore makeup," with a grimace emoji. Dias may find it difficult to escape the light-hearted jokes in the next month or so as he joins Felix and the rest of the Portuguese squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

All focus for Dias will be on the World Cup after Saturday's clash with Brentford in the Premier League. Being the early kick off means that Pep Guardiola's side know a victory will see them leapfrog Arsenal into top spot.

The Gunners will have to wait until 7:45pm to respond when they travel to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.
