A victim tailored to Morata

Atlético's return from the halt has been impressive. And that's how Simeone wants to continue on that path. Alaves will be Atletico's next victim. 

For the match, Simeone has two doubts. Costa and Mario Hermoso didn't train on Friday. The first one didn't train because of the precaution, while the second one didn't train because of the inconveniences.

So, the doors to the starting line-up could open for Morata. The Madrid striker aims at the eleven.

His numbers against Alavés are one more reason to be on the pitch of the Metropolitano this Saturday. He has played Alaves three times. In all of them, he has scored a goal.

Three goals have been scored by Morata in the three matches he has played against Alaves. One of them was scored with Real Madrid, in a 1-4 in Mendizorroza in October 2016.

The other two goals were scored as an Atletico player. He participated with a goal in the 0-4 of the 29th round of LaLiga 2018-19 and signed another in 2019-20 in a match that ended with a 1-1.
