The goal by Álvaro Morata, whose figure is so respected in Italy that two center-backs like Chiellini and Bonucci trembled when they saw him enter the field, meant a complete release for the striker, who spent half an hour celebrating his success. He grabbed the camera from behind Donnaruma’s goal with force, made the goalkeeper and drew the ‘A’ to remember Alice, his wife, whom he has remembered so much in this European Championship so strange for him. He goes with three goals and with the three that he added in the Euro 2016 he becomes the Spanish footballer with the most goals in history in this tournament, surpassing Fernando Torres. Last night, without anyone seeing her coming, Morata was a substitute at Wembley because Luis Enrique understood that it was better to play with a false nine to alter the ecosystem of Italy. The coach was largely right, but then turned to his starting striker in the previous five games and Morata reciprocated with a remarkable performance. He ran like a greyhound, pressed all over the field, asked for the ball whenever he could and scored, in the 80th minute, that special goal for him. The outcome, however, was cruel. The Juventus attacker was Spain’s fourth pitcher, cuddled because the team was behind after Bernardeschi’s success. Morata caught the ball, planted it on the spot and shot to his right, drawing too much of his intentions. He was down, high, but Donnaruma became huge to push Italy forward. “Álvaro had a physical problem, but he wanted to pitch anyway,” revealed Luis Enrique, who has turned to Madrid in the last month. «I thanked Morata and gave him a hug. He allowed us to dream », Luis Rubiales acknowledged. From Instagram, it is understood that he is still in the dressing room, he sent a message: «This group deserved more, much more. Like all of Spain, it was also my dream. I am proud to have been part of this team. To those who have believed in us, Thank you. Soccer can be very tough. .
