Champions League | Morata is a machine: another double

Since Álvaro Morata returned to Juventus, he has become an unstoppable machine. Once again the Spaniard was decisive for the Old Lady, scoring a brace that unlocked the confrontation with Ferencvaros, thus adding six goals in the first seven games of the course (And, to these, we must add the six that the VAR removed by a matter of centimeters).

The former colchonero, who today celebrated his 100 appearances with Torino, put the confrontation down after just seven minutes, pushes between the sticks a low cross from Cuadrado on Bonucci’s deep pass. The blues were able to condemn before 45 ‘, but Morata himself, only against the opponent’s goal, was generous and sought Cristiano, who the defender Bolic anticipated a few meters from the door.

The Italian champions lost in the first half against Arthur, who had a good start, due to stomach problems, and then also with Ramsey, due to a sore thigh. Ronaldo, who today with a brace would have reached 746 goals for Ferenc Puskas right in the stadium that bears his name he wasted a great chance with a cross shot that went out, meanwhile Morata waited in vain for the pass, completely alone in the heart of the area.

The striker, however, soon after took a low center from the Portuguese (which McKennie left him with a feint) and led him to 0-2 with a great shot on the first touch. That goal practically closed the game half an hour early. Ferencvaros were defeated by the mistakes of the goalkeeper, who made a “double Karius” against Dybala. The Argentine had replaced Morata in the 67th minute, taking advantage of the gift by signing his first goal of the season, even if an own goal by Dvali denied him the double. The last thrill of the match came in the 90th minute, when a very relaxed Juventus gave their rivals the goal of honor, produced by Boli. It was the only drawback of a very quiet night for Pirlo.
