Morata: I dreamed of playing for Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon Atletico Madrid Did so, but with other teams

Alvaro Morata has revealed that it was his dream to play for Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Vicente Calderon.

The striker left Los Rojiblancos at a young age to play for other clubs like Getafe and Real Madrid and only re-joined his boyhood club once they had moved to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.

"When I was a kid, I was a ballboy at Atletico," Morata said during an Instagram Live video.

"Then I went through a period where I didn't enjoy it so much.

"You know, it's the path a young kid goes down to be a professional.

"You start with agents, sponsors... I felt a lot of pressure, I wasn't starting games...

"I thought about leaving. Then I spent a year at Getafe and, you know what, it was an amazing year.

"Then I went to Real Madrid, but my dad and I used to go to the Calderon and I dreamed of playing there.

"However, unfortunately, I had to play there for other clubs and not with Atletico, but I always wanted to."

Morata would come up against Atletico in the 2014 Champions League final before watching Real Madrid beat his current team again in 2016.

"The two Champions League finals against Atletico are there [in the past], but now I'm happier than ever," he said.
