Premier league football club, Manchester City's loanee to Serie A club AC Milan, Kyle Walker expressed his frustration to Joao Felix while moving out of the dressing room. Kyle Walker's unbeaten run at Serie A came to a halt after Napoli humbled the players of San Siro 2-1 in the last fixture.
Having been benched and subbed off in the last couple of matches, Walker got a start in the important fixture against Napoli. However, he failed to perform up to his expectations and many considered him responsible for Napoli's second goal.

Kyle Walker's asserts he is not Lionel Messi
AC Milan trailed a two-goal deficit to Napoli at halftime courtesy of the strikes from Matteo Politano and Romelu Lukaku. As the team were heading out to the pitch, cameras caught Walker instructing Felix to pass the ball.
He emphasized that no one in the team is Lionel Messi and Felix needs to link up and pass the ball to his teammates.
"Pass the ball, we are not Messi." Kyle Walker instructed Joao Felix.
Joao Felix joined Milan on loan in January from Chelsea and scored on his debut. However, he has not scored in the subsequent 10 appearances. Walker noted that the Portuguese player may be trying too hard.
Joao Felix had a brief appearance in the second half, playing for 10 minutes before manager Sergio Conceicao decided to substitute him. Milan went on to lose the game 2-1.
Felix joined Chelsea in 2024 from Atletico Madrid while Kyle Walker had been a main stay at Manchester City since 2017. Both the players showed significant dip in the form in the current season resulting in their loan transfers to AC Milan.
