Alvaro Morata claims Cristiano Ronaldo is human and has the right to miss!
Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has defended his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo for missing numerous goal scoring opportunities in Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over a dogged Atletico Bilbao. And claims Cristiano Ronaldo is human and has the right to miss.
Karim Benzema opened the scoring in the seventh minute before Sabin Merino equalized in the 28th minute for the visitors.
With Cristiano Ronaldo failing to convert his chances, it took substitute Alvaro Morata’s 84th-minute winner to give Real Madrid all three points.

Despite not having one of his better games in a Real Madrid shirt, Alvaro Morata highlighted the Portuguese star’s importance to the team and has urged critics to back off.
“When you’re used to scoring almost 70 goals in a season, it’s almost like an addiction for goals,” Alvaro Morata said, via the club’s official website.
“For us he is the most important player in the team, and I hope that he scores lots of goals, but he is not a machine.”
“Cristiano Ronaldo is human, even if he comes from another planet and is different. He also has the right to miss.”

The goal was Alvaro Morata’s second La Liga goal in nine games. And having only started four of those games. The Spaniard striker Alvaro Morata has promised to continue waiting patiently for more game time under Zinedine Zidane.
“Everyone wants to always play, in every possible game, but it’s difficult. I feel important in the squad,” he added.
“We’ve got 25 players and Zinedine Zidane’s job is hard to choose who’ll play. A good problem.”
“We are a team and are about winning together. Which is what we have done. Zinedine Zidane gave me a hug and congratulated me, and now we have to keep working.”
