All goals from Real Madrid centre-forward Alvaro Morata have a special dedication; an 'A' drawn with the index and ring finger for his partner Alice Campello, an Italian model.First comes the group celebration after the youngster has found the net, but then Morata will always seek to find his girlfriend in the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu crowd. Although Alice is from Venice, the couple met in Turin and they have moved their relationship to Madrid to live together in the capital. Just one look at their social networks shows the chemistry between the pair, happiness that Morata is now taking onto the pitch with Los Blancos.
With eight goals so far he is the top scorer at Real, ahead of BBC who've collectively played far more minutes. Things couldn't be any better for a player who is forcing his way into Zinedine Zidane's starting XI and who is already a fixture in the Spanish national team. In fact, on Monday he will collect the award for best player of the year in Spanish football at the party organised by MARCA - and he'll be sure to share it with Alice.Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Leganes on Sunday afternoon moved Los Blancos - at least temporarily - further ahead at the top of the LaLiga table, while Alvaro Morata similarly moved clear at the top of the club's goalscoring charts.
The 24-year-old started the weekend joint top, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, with seven strikes to his name so far. Gareth Bale's two first half goals then pulled the Welshman alongside his Spanish and Portuguese teammates, but Morata's 77th minute finish past Jon Ander Serantes made him the outright leader. He has now scored in three consecutive weekends, getting on the scoresheet against Athletic Club, Deportivo Alaves and now against Leganes - and was deservedly given an ovation by the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu crowd when substituted late on in Sunday's match. Breaking down his eight goals, he has scored four in the league, two in the Copa del Rey and two in the Champions League.
