Luis Enrique loves a battle... and making Spain fans adore Alvaro Morata will rank among one of his GREATEST achievements as the striker looks to silence his critics by emerging as his country's hero at the Euros

Luis Enrique has done some striking things in his managerial career. He won the treble at Barcelona, managed to pick a Spain squad without a single Real Madrid player in it and now has them in the quarter-finals.

If Spain go on to triumph it will rank as his greatest achievement — but making Spain love Alvaro Morata in the process will come a close second.

Morata was whistled by the home support in Spain's first game at Euro 2020. 'It would have been easy for him to have erased me from the picture and put in someone else,' said the former Chelsea forward this week.
