Alvaro Morata has hit back at Spain fans who have sent threats to him and his family after the striker endured a difficult Euro 2020 group stage with Luis Enrique's side.
The Juventus forward has been criticised by his supporters throughout the tournament, particularly during the first two matches which resulted in draws against Sweden and Poland, while he also missed a penalty against Slovakia.
Morata has revealed that he had a sleepless night after the Poland match due to the abuse he had suffered throughout the day, including the messages towards his wife Alice Campello and his three young sons.
Morata told Juanma Castano's El Partidazo de Cope programme: 'Maybe I have not done my job as I should.
'I understand that I am criticised because I have not scored a goal, but I wish people would put themselves in the place of what it is like to receive threats, to be told that your children should die.
'Every time I get to the dressing room, my phone goes somewhere else. What bothers me is that they tell my wife, that they tell my children. They tell them everything.
'I didn't sleep at all these past few days, because of the adrenaline. I'm very happy, but it bothers me not to do my job well. The fans whistled at me before warming up, but I'm happy to take the penalty (against Slovakia) and have missed it.'
