Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo has praised Alvaro Morata, who has impressed after returning to the Allianz Stadium in October.

The Atletico Madrid loanee moved back to the Bianconeri on transfer deadline day, after having already spent two seasons between 2014 and 2016 in Turin.

Since his return on loan with an option to buy, Morata has scored six goals in eight competitive games and reclaimed his place at Spain.

Real Madrid confirm Sergio Ramos will miss the upcoming Champions League match against Inter due to a hamstring tear.

The defender and captain picked up the injury during international duty on Wednesday evening, when Spain thrashed Germany 6-0 to book their place in the Nations League Final Four.

His club has now confirmed Ramos has a fibrillar tear in his right hamstring.

Italy are expected to host the second edition of the Nations League Final Four tournament in October 2021, against Belgium, France and Spain.

The Azzurri secured their spot in the final tournament by topping Group A ahead of the Netherlands, Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

In principle, Italy will be the hosts, as they won Group A1, but it is to be confirmed at a UEFA Executive Committee meeting on December 3.

The draw for the semi-final and final pairings will be made that same day, with no seeding.

Despite Spain’s 6-0 win against Germany, Juventus striker Alvaro Morata says: ‘There will always be criticism’ and adds he shouldn't have had a goal disallowed for off-side.

"We have to do our job. We said it the other day,” Morata said after the game, reports As.

“We played well against the World champions and I’d like to see what people will say now. We try to help each-other, we have young players who we trust.

Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in Spain’s historic 6-0 demolition of Germany, while Marko Rog saw red for Croatia in a 3-2 defeat to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.

The game of the night was undoubtedly in Seville, where Spain went head-to-head with Germany for the top of Group 4, and achieved it in quite extraordinary fashion.

Juventus striker Morata began the rout with a header at the back post, then saw yet another goal ruled offside, this one a decision that might’ve been overturned if VAR had been available.

Dejan Kulusevski scored his first goal for Sweden, Adrien Rabiot’s France beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal and Sergio Ramos had two penalties saved for Spain after Remo Freuler found the net for Switzerland.

It was a special night for Juventus man Kulusevski, who scored his debut senior goal for Sweden in a 2-1 win over Ivan Perisic’s Croatia.

He gave a trademark display of dexterity, cutting back inside a defender to prod the finish into the far bottom corner from 12 yards.

Atletico Madrid loanee Alvaro Morata has said ‘the continuity’ at Juventus can help him become the main man at Spain. ‘I can be that missing striker’.

Morata has enjoyed a fine start to his second stint at the Allianz Stadium, with six goals in eight competitive games for the Bianconeri.

“I’m fine. I’m in a good moment and I’m confident,” Morata said, according to SportItalia journalist Alfredo Pedulla.

Juventus striker Alvaro Morata has been called up to Spain national team for the first time in one year while Milan’s Brahim Diaz has been included in Spain’s U21 squad.

Morata’s last appearance with his national team is dated back to November 2019.

The former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker is the best scorer of the Old Lady so far this season with six goals in seven games in all competitions.

Juventus have reportedly entered the chase for Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, as the defender's contract with Los Blancos expires in June 2021.

El Chiringuito TV reports the contract talks between Ramos and Real Madrid are on standby and claims Juventus are in with an offer for the centre-back.

The Bianconeri have reportedly offered Ramos the possibility to reunite with former Real star Cristiano Ronaldo in Turin.

Thieves reportedly broke into Cristiano Ronaldo’s villa in Dona Amelia, Funchal, and got away with an autographed Juventus shirt.

El diario de noticias Madeira reports the unpleasant surprise for the Portugal talisman after the goalless friendly against Spain on Wednesday.

According to the Portuguese newspaper, thieves entered the villa through a back door in the garage and got away with objects of low value, including an autographed Juventus shirt worth about €200.
