After destroying Real Madrid's Champions League hopes, Alvaro Morata is seen as the one who could deny Los Blaugranas a possible treble this season. Despite not playing that much games with Los Blancos in the Spanish top flight, Morata is one of Real Madrid's last gems, and denying Messi & Co one more trebel would be among his career's top accomplishments.
Morata has scored 23 goals in his career, blossoming as quite a trustworthy striker this season. After being transferred away from Los Blancos, Álvaro Morata secured himself a spot in Massimiliano Allegri's Starting XI, beating fellow Spaniard Fernando Llorente in the process.
The Spanish striker played very few games against Los Blaugranas during his years with Los Blancos, and the only time he had a certain influence in the game's outcome, was when he assisted Karim Benzema in a league match.
Morata, following Messi in a game vs Barcelona
Being recognized as one of Real Madrid's young talents which never had a chance to shine with the team, Morata denied any hard feelings against his former team, stating he is eager to make a difference when he faces Los Culés in Berlin.
"I can't even say what would I feel if I had the chance to score against Barcelona, not only because it's them, but simply because it's a Champions League final. It's obvious that people will connect me with Real Madrid all my life, but this time I will try to win on Saturday evening for what it would mean for Juve's fans, and I know Los Madridistas will be happy if I do," the player stated in an interview.
Even some of his legendary team-mates know he shows a lot of class on the pitch.
Buffon: "Morata? He has been the biggest surprise. He can be the star for the next few years if he matures the right way."

Although Alvaro Morata's career has been boosted this season, it is yet to be determined how important he will be this Saturday. With the help of Tevez and Pirlo, Morata's clinical finishes and speed could prove to be hard to stop for Barcelona's defense. Can he lead Juve for their first-ever treble?
