While Morata’s C.V is mightily impressive – Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Juventus – as well as leading the line for the Spanish national team, he can never be considered an elite level centre-forward.
While he boasts a ‘1 in 2’ goal record virtually everywhere he’s been throughout his career, Morata misses a quite remarkable amount of clear cut chances, which is why he’s never convinced anywhere he’s been.

Alvaro Morata reacts after fluffing his lines against Sweden |
Morata, who was given the nod by Luis Enrique to provide the spearhead to La Roja’s attack in their Euro 2020 opener against Sweden tonight, had a gilt-edged chance to open the scoring, having capitalised on a Swedish error.
However, with the goal at his mercy, 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper, Morata somehow put the ball wide of the post, a pretty shocking miss and the kind which can prove costly at major international tournaments of this nature.
