Juventus striker Alvaro Morata has revealed that he will give his all against former club Real Madrid in the upcoming Champions League semi-final clash between the two sides.
The Bianconeri will host the Spanish giants at Juventus Stadium on Tuesday in the first of two legs and the 22-year-old admits that while he’s thankful for his time with the Los Blancos, he’s currently only looking to help the Old Lady lift the tournament trophy this year.
Morata spoke to Sky Sport Italia about Juve’s mission to win the Champions League and his own determination to do his best for the Serie A title holders, while also commenting on his past at Real Madrid.
“It absolutely doesn’t matter how long it has been since you last won the tournament, the important thing is to win,” said the Spaniard.
“We are Juventus and Juventus want to win this trophy. Here we are as one of the final four teams in the Champions League and we have this chance to play a semi-final with Real Madrid.
“We may be in the top four right now, but we really want to be in the final two and lift the Champions League trophy.
“There has been a large number of my friends from Madrid asking me to get them tickets for the first leg in Turin, but it’s something that I’ve only done for my parents and my girlfriend so I can fully concentrate on this game.
“I care a lot about this game and I have to stay focused. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I’m grateful that Carlo Ancelotti allowed me to play a lot of matches at Real Madrid, including the Champions League final.
“However, now I’m at Juventus and I’m going to give everything I can to this club.”
