Juventus captain Buffon explained that he believes Morata to have enormous potential as the Old Lady prepare to host the Europa League holders.

“Alvaro Morata is potentially a player who could become one of the top two or three in the world in a few years,” Buffon said to Marca.

“He has a physical presence, he makes sacrifices and he’s humble. He’s a complete forward – the difference between a good player and a great player is the mentality.

“In my opinion, everything depends on him and his head.

“Sevilla are a very strong team, they play in an intelligent way and are convinced of their quality.

“It’s true that they’ve lost several players, but this summer great players like Llorente and Immobile have arrived and it’s a squad made up of top players so we must have a lot of respect for them.

“Juventus have changed a lot too, we are finding the right balance again.

“Some players are difficult to replace, but we’ll be back and in two or three months we need to get results and climb back up the table.”
