Álvaro Morata, during Euro 2024, expressed frustration with the attitude of Spanish fans towards him. Recently, after reading a comment from an internet user, he decided to respond, referencing the behaviour of the fans.

On Sunday, July 14, Spanish soccer fans had a lot to celebrate. Their national team defeated England 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final, winning the tournament held in Germany.

At the European Championship, the captain of La Furia Roja was Álvaro Morata. He scored the first goal for the Spanish national team in the tournament, but in subsequent matches, he could not add to his tally.

Quite unexpectedly, after the Euro 2024 final, global media began reporting on Morata's potential club change, despite rejecting offers from Saudi Arabia and declaring his intention to stay at Atlético Madrid, he is set to move to Italy's AC Milan, causing a stir.

Under one of the pictures from the championship celebration, a fan noted many Atlético flags in the photo, but Morata is leaving for Milan. This comment prompted the striker to respond.

"I can't leave now, but after Dortmund, you all wanted to kick me out. I won the European Championship as an Atleti player," the player responded to the comment. Although the user later deleted the comment, screenshots circulated online.

It is worth noting that during Euro 2024, Morata spoke critically about the attitude of Spanish fans towards him. He emphasized that he is happier outside his homeland because people respect him more.
