Morata blasts ‘disrespectful’ Spain ahead of Euro 2024 semi

Alvaro Morata has risked the wrath of supporters by claiming “in Spain, there’s no respect for anything or anyone”.

Morata, who is set to captain his country in tomorrow night’s Euro 2024 semi-final against France, also seemingly backtracked on his desire to remain with Atletico Madrid next season.

The former Real Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea striker says he is happier abroad, paving the way for a summer transfer, and conceded this could be his last major international tournament.

Morata told El Mundo: “It could be. It’s a possibility that I don’t want to talk about too much, but it’s probable.

“I try to enjoy this tournament, which could be my last games with the national team, and in the future, what will be, will be.

“Maybe one day they’ll even miss me. Each day, the moment for leaving is closer, that’s why I enjoy it, that’s why I’ll cry at whatever comes next, good or bad.”

“In Spain there’s no respect for anything or anyone.
