Spain's leader Alvaro Morata expressed his gratitude to a legendary member of La Roja after winning the Euro 2024 championship.

Morata got taken out of the game towards the end, while Spain managed to secure a 2-1 win against England in Berlin.

The choice to replace Morata was made as part of a strategy for the end of the game, and it turned out to be a brilliant move as Mikel Oyarzabal came in and scored the winning goal.

Morata has expressed his discontent about various issues in the tournament, strongly suggesting that he may retire from the national team in the near future.

After the game at Olympiastadion, the Atletico Madrid striker was questioned about his future plans. He stated that Andres Iniesta was instrumental in convincing him to remain with the team this season.

According to reports from Diario AS, now is not the appropriate moment to discuss my future plans as it would be self-centered. I will instead focus on enjoying the present.

I want to express my gratitude to my wife, family, and Andres Iniesta for their support. Without him and Bojan Krkic, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to compete in the Euros.

"They have experienced the same struggles as me and I have always found hope at the end of the journey."

Morata's remarks focus on both players being candid about their struggles with mental health and the stress that comes with representing Spain on the field.

His 36 goals have placed him in the fourth position on the list of Spain's all-time leading goal scorers, coming before his upcoming decision.
