MORATA IS THE MVP FROM AC MILAN v TORINO
Awards
A win would have been the icing on the cake, but Álvaro Morata's official debut in our shirt is anyway something to remember. After 45 minutes to break the ice in the Trofeo Berlusconi, the Spaniard came to the league opener at San Siro fired up and with maturity which proved decisive.
Coming on in the 60th minute, he made a substantial contribution to the Rossoneri comeback. Right away, he won a penalty, which was overturned by VAR. Then, he had a goal ruled out for an offside and then scored in the 89th minute to get us back into the game, the mark of a champion, which allowed the side to find some faith and push on until Okafor made it 2-2 in the 95th minute.
He gave us the spark without a doubt. Having arrived at Milanello just over a week ago, Álvaro has already perfectly integrated into the Rossoneri world. His words in the press conference had already cleared up the calibre of the champion, and when put to the test on the pitch, our number 7 lived up to expectations. Generous from the first involvement, he used all of his experience and instinct to score that goal.
With 42% of the vote, he beat out Mike Maignan (30%) - making some big saves - and Noah Okafor (23%) who bagged the late equaliser, in the race for MVP. So, the right debut that only missed three points. The disappointment is clear, for Álvaro and the rest of the team, and should act as fuel ahead of Parma.
