Alvaro Morata’s father said Juventus “are good for him” and he’ll relish playing at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid.

The forward already scored in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against his former club, which Juve won 2-1 in Turin, and next Wednesday he’ll return to his old hunting ground.

“He didn’t celebrate that goal because he still has so many friends in Madrid,” Alfonso Morata told Radio Cope.

Alvaro Morata’s father said Juventus “are good for him” and he’ll relish playing at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid.

The forward already scored in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against his former club, which Juve won 2-1 in Turin, and next Wednesday he’ll return to his old hunting ground.

“He didn’t celebrate that goal because he still has so many friends in Madrid,” Alfonso Morata told Radio Cope.

“He’s a lad with a big heart and respects the club he grew up in. Celebrations are in any case only delayed, but I have faith he can get through.

“Real Madrid might have great players, but they suffer as a team unit. We are all supporting Alvaro – this game will be really expensive, as you cannot imagine how many people asked me for tickets!

“Alvaro is maturing and developing very quickly. The experience at Juventus and in Italy is good for him, while time is also on his side.

“I am sure he will deal with the pressure, the atmosphere and the game, but that he will also be given a warm welcome.”

Real Madrid still have a series of buy-back options on Morata during his two-year loan to Juventus and Spanish media today suggested they could recall him this summer.
