Morata responds to Bonucci and claims he has ‘different opinions’ from Ronaldo

20 feb 2019

Alvaro Morata will face his past tonight as Atletico Madrid will be clashing against Juve in the opening tie of the last 16 stage of the Champions League: “It would be special to win the Champions League here”, Morata told As. “I joined Atletico to help them to reach this target but before that we need to beat Juventus. I know them very well, I know they are not happy about facing Atletico. They are the favourites to win the title but it’s their problem”.

GOAL – “If I’ll score my first goal with Atletico I must celebrate, especially at home. I wouldn’t celebrate in Turin as a sign of respect for my former fans. I hope Juve can win every game, a part from when they play against Atletico”.

BONUCCI – “He said he’ll be breathing down my neck? That would be good for me, it would mean that I am on the pitch. Ronaldo? I’ve never had problems with him, maybe we have different points of view sometimes but he is a good person. When we were both at Real we used to talk about many things like the family and other stuff, not only football”.

TRANSFER - “Atletico wanted to sign me three years and a half ago. I told Simeone that I would have joined Atletico as soon as I had the chance. It didn’t depend on me. Now I am here and I want to give my best for this shirt”.
