Alvaro Morata goes wild when he sees Real Madrid. The Spanish striker has always had a feel for big occasions and even in the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Milan he didn’t want to be denied. The Spaniard gave Milan the lead in the second half with the 1-2 goal and unlike what he did on other occasions in the past, the Spanish player mimed a gesture as if to recall that of the moustache. In Spain the images made the rounds on social media and even the main Iberian sites wondered the reasons for this celebration. There are those who have read behind this choice a polemical dig at his former team, while those who have decided to attribute it to the “Movember” movement, an annual event held in the month of November which invites people to raise awareness and raise funds for diseases that particularly affect men.
A son of Real Madrid who has turned into a bête noire. Alvaro Morata was born in the Spanish club’s youth system, going all the way through and then arriving in the first team. But love never struck with the striker who began his career as a globetrotter. A career that also took him to the other side of Madrid, Atletico side. And over time the Milan center forward has taken his revenge as tonight’s goal is the seventh goal scored against Los Blancos, which he hit with particular impact in the Champions League. He is the player who has scored the most goals against Real Madrid in Europe.
It was an evening in which Real Madrid fans made their voices heard more than once since the start of the match and even before. It was Morata himself who received a fair amount of boos with the Blancos fans who targeted him when reading the lineups. Then the Spanish fans also took it out on UEFA after the failure to award the Golden Ball to Vinicius
