A goal every two games makes 30 goals for 60 matches with the national team. Álvaro Morata's figures with the national team perfectly define the striker's efficiency when he wears the red jersey, his connection with the goal is wonderful to repay Luis Enrique for the confidence he has always placed in him.

In this World Cup, Morata has scored three goals in three matches, sharing the lead in the scoring table. He made his debut against Costa Rica, closing the match 7-0 with a great left-footed strike past Keylor Navas. In the match against Germany, he subtly finished off a great assist from Jordi Alba to put the national team ahead. It was a goal that led to the man of the match award. Against Japan, he made a remarkable header from Azpilicueta's pass to make it 1-0. Three out of three, a figure that is hard to beat

"It's very pleasant when you see yourself on the list of top scorers of the national team. I thank the other strikers who always care about me and send messages of support. Fernando Hierro, Fernando Morientes, Butragueño, Fernando Llorente... They always encourage me", summarises Morata.

The Madrid striker has also become a decisive player. He scored the goal in La Cartuja against Sweden that sealed Spain's place at this World Cup and he scored the goal in Braga to beat Portugal at the end of the match. This takes the national team to the next UEFA Nations League final four that will be held in June in the Netherlands.

His first World Cup is full of highlights, and they will remain in his memory forever: "I keep them for myself, I keep them forever. All the moments here are very special. I hope this experience ends as late as possible because it's amazing".

Morata, after Spain's qualification for the round of last 16 after a painful lost march against Japan, is convinced that the team will be up to the task in the round of last 16 against Morocco. The national team has shown its ability to react and it has a striker with excellent figures. He is Álvaro Morata.
