Author of 5 goals in 6 La Liga days, Alvaro Morata has had a particularly effective start to the season. At the forefront of Atlético, the Spaniard stood out against rival Real Madrid at the end of last September. He had scored a double. But recently, many controversies have emerged about preferential treatment that the Merengues would benefit from. Morata is well placed to talk about it, having played for Florentino Pérez’s club for several seasons.

And justly. As La Roja prepare to face Scotland on Thursday evening, a journalist asked the Atlético de Madrid striker about the difference in refereeing between his current club and his former team, Real Madrid. “You already know the answer. The whole world knows the answer”quips Alvaro Morata, who prefers to put his words in a humorous tone. “I would like you to tell me!”insists the journalist. “Nothing, you know that”, retorts the Madrilenian with a smile. Morata risks making more than just friends at a time when the Negreira affair is in full swing.
