Alvaro Morata explained his goal celebration against Inter, noting Juventus “want to win whoever is playing.”

The second string side still emerged 2-1 winners at San Siro, as his scuffed finish bounced off Samir Handanovic to go in.

“I hit it badly, but this is football. I was lucky the way Inter were on the opening goal,” Morata told Sky Sport Italia.

The second string side still emerged 2-1 winners at San Siro, as his scuffed finish bounced off Samir Handanovic to go in.

“I hit it badly, but this is football. I was lucky the way Inter were on the opening goal,” Morata told Sky Sport Italia.

“The Coach told us we had to win, because this proves the whole squad wants to win whoever is playing.”

The Spanish striker celebrated by putting on a pair of sunglasses, but reveals it was a surprise to him too.

“It wasn’t planned. Someone threw them at me and I put them on!

“It’s a shame I won’t be able to play the Coppa Italia Final, but I have full faith in the squad. They’ll give everything to win the trophy. Juve always want to win.”

Morata was visibly upset when jeered by his former fans at the Bernabeu, having scored the goal that put Real Madrid out of the Champions League.

“In truth I was happy because I could hear our fans singing for me. I was happy for the game and for the fans.”

The striker followed Palermo’s Paulo Dybala on Twitter this weekend, so is that a sign of a future partnership?

“I follow many players who I like. Dybala is one of the best in Italy and it’d be wonderful to have him as a teammate.”
