'I did not sleep for nine hours' - Morata received death threats against his family after Spain drew with Poland at Euro 2020

The forward screwed the rebound wide of the empty net after Gerard Moreno's missed penalty in the game in Seville, which ended 1-1

Spain striker Alvaro Morata says he was bombarded with threats and insults - including from people who said they wanted his children to die - after missing an open goal against Poland at Euro 2020.

Morata screwed the rebound wide of the empty net after Gerard Moreno's missed penalty in the game in Seville, which ended 1-1 and left Spain in danger of failing to qualify for the European Championship knock-out stages.

The forward, who recently re-joined Juventus on loan from Atletico Madrid, says he could not sleep after the Poland game because of the trolls, however, says he remains determined to continue playing and trying to fire Spain to the title.
