Morata falls in love with Atlético de Madrid fans. The goal he scored yesterday against Deportivo Alavés was the Spanish striker's last service to the Colchonero team that is now third in the Spanish league standings. However, they still have to play in December the match belonging to matchday number four against Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano, so they could still add three more points to their locker if they beat Diego Alonso's team.
The 31-year-old striker has six goals in nine games played in LaLiga and three more in the Champions League. A total of nine targets. As a result, Morata is postulated as one of Simeone's untouchables on the offensive line alongside Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman has it in his mind to surpass one of Atlético de Madrid's historical records, since he is only seven goals away from equaling Luis Aragonés as the red-and-white club's top scorer.
Atlético de Madrid has won 14 consecutive games at home and Morata is an essential part of these successes for the 'Cholo' team. “Of course I can get there,” said Morata in response to the challenge proposed by the Argentine coach of reaching 18 goals this season. At the moment, the former Real Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea player is halfway through and is willing to continue scoring to try to win at least one title with his team: "All I want is to win with the Atleti shirt and whoever knows me "he can tell you," the player confirmed for DAZN in the preview of the Madrid derby.
Morata is also sweet with the Spanish team. He did not find the net in the last qualifying match for the Euro 2024 against Norway, in Oslo. However, he did do it against Scotland or Georgia, the latter scoring a hat-trick. Thanks to this, the Atlético de Madrid forward is now among the five top scorers in the history of the absolute team.
The Madrid player has 34 goals with Spain and is just one behind David Silva, the fourth top scorer. Ahead are only Fernando Torres with 35 goals, Raúl (44) and David Villa (59).
