Álvaro Morata's Madrid home was targetted by armed burglars on Friday night while he was on international duty with Spain in the Faroe Islands. A group of burglars entered Morata's home in Mirasierra, on the outskirts of Madrid while his wife Alice Campello and their twin sons Alessandro and Leonardo were inside. It was a very harrowing ordeal for Morata's family. The thieves took objects of commercial value as well as items of great sentimental worth to the owners. The experience was a great shock to Morata's wife, who was looking after the children at the time of the robbery.
