This season, Atlético de Madrid can count on an Antoine Griezmann on fire. But he is not the only Madrid striker to shine. Indeed, Alvaro Morata, who was close to leaving during the summer transfer window, is panicking the counters. He scored 12 goals and provided 2 assists in 15 appearances in all competitions.
Questioned by A.S. regarding his chances at the next Ballon d’Or ceremony, the former Juventus player said: “I do not think about it. I would like to win individual titles, but it’s Rodri who steals them (laughs). All I want is to do things right. We qualified for a European Championship which sometimes seems easier than it actually is. I also hope to have a good year at club, but I’m not thinking about the Ballon d’Or.” The message is clear.
