After Spain's victory over Italy in the Europa League group stage, captain Morata was interviewed by two mainstream Italian media outlets, Sky Sports and Rai Sport, to share his thoughts on the match as well as his personal feelings.
In an interview with Rai Sport, Morata first affirmed his team's performance, "We played very well and had the chance to score more goals, but Donnarumma is really one of the strongest goalkeepers in Europe, and he played very well." For old rivals Italy, Morata was full of respect: "Italy? They are always that strong Italian team, I can't say anything. Maybe we will meet again in the later matches, it's never easy to play against them."
Speaking about his future and whether he will return to Italy, Morata joked, "I will definitely go on vacation to Italy, it's like my second home. As for the rest, I'm not sure yet."
In an interview with Sky Sports, Morata emphasized the importance of winning the game, "The most important thing is to win the game, that's the only thing that matters. We did it today and I'm happy." He again praised Donnarumma's performance, "Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, he made 3-4 high level saves in the game and showed his amazing ability."
For his performance in this year's Europa League, Morata expressed his satisfaction: "I feel good, my body is in very good shape, and my performance in training is also good. The atmosphere of our team is very good, we are united and get along well. I think we have a lot of chances and new players coming in, but they are playing like seasoned veterans on the field. We are working hard every day to be a difficult team to play against."
