VIDEO: Morata’s first game as Spain captain
Álvaro Morata wore the Spain captain's armband for the first time in their 2-1 friendly victory against Albania on Saturday
Spain hosted Albania at Espanyol's RCDE Stadium in Barcelona on Saturday the evening. The two nations played out an international friendly.
After a lackluster first half which ended 0-0, the game came alive in the final quarter of the match. Ferran Torres struck for the Spaniards on 75 minutes, but ten minutes later Myrto Uzuni levelled the scoring for the visitors. It looked as though the match was going to end in a draw until Dani Olmo netted in the 90th minute to send the home fans into delirium.
The match was the first time that Alvaro Morata has ever captained his country, a proud moment for the striker. Take a look at the behind the scenes view of him leading the team in the video here!
