And only moments later other Barcelona players swamped Felix as tensions continued to rise.
Ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, 32, also took issue with the Portugal international as the two entered into a heated spat before Barcelona and Atletico players separated the pair.
Felix appeared to lose his temper earlier in the clash when Jordi Alba touched his face, prompting the Atletico ace to slap the Barca left-back's finger away.
