Alvaro Morata believes it's time for Juventus to match their European performances to those in Serie A.

The holding Scudetto winners had a terrible start to the season and are sitting at fifteenth in the standings, with only five points in six games.

But they have been doing much better in the Champions League, and Morata showed all of his satisfaction when celebrating his goal against Sevilla last Wednesday evening.

Alvaro Morata believes it's time for Juventus to match their European performances to those in Serie A.

The holding Scudetto winners had a terrible start to the season and are sitting at fifteenth in the standings, with only five points in six games.

But they have been doing much better in the Champions League, and Morata showed all of his satisfaction when celebrating his goal against Sevilla last Wednesday evening.

“At that moment I was very happy,” he told Tuttosport. “But let's wait and see the importance of the last victory.

“In any case we have a lot of faith in turning things round.

“We haven't been very lucky in the championship, but as I told my teammates before the game, when we play at our top and we play as Juventus, then we can win against any team in the world.

“Now we simply have to perform in Italy the way we're doing in Europe… even though in Italy it's harder because there are less spaces, our adversaries are closed and cover themselves better.

“I feel like I have a great deal of responsibility. But in truth we all do.

“Anyone who plays for a club like Juventus knows that these colours carry a weighty history and must be honoured in a certain way.”

The Spaniard was then asked about the buyback option that Real Madrid have and which could see him leaving the Bianconeri on the long run.

“What can I say? Each time I score a goal, I'm reminded that the tifosi are afraid I'll leave them.

“So I hope I get that question often! But answering now would be disrespectful towards the club and the teammates.

“I'm wearing the Juventus colours now and that's the team I'm focused on.

“My habit of scoring against Spanish teams? It's been going pretty well against them, I have a lot of friends in Spain who'll send me messages. Not all of them are going to be friendly!

“But I'm just happy that we won.

“I have no messages of my own for [Spain Coach Vicente] Del Bosque, messages must be sent on the pitch.

“He has the right to make his own decisions, I just have to do my best.”
