Spanish striker Alvaro Morata keeps creating a name for himself with Juventus, as he scored again for the Italian champions during their Group D game against Sevilla. Morata scored the first goal of the evening for the bianconeri, giving Massimiliano Allegri's team the top of the group after two games played.
Morata's goal had its share of history, since the Spaniard scored for the fifth consecutive game with Juventus. He netted the ball in last year's semi-final and final games, and he has bagged a couple of goals during this Champions League edition. With those five games, Morata joins Alessandro Del Piero as the only players to have scored in five consecutive games for La Vecchia Signora.
While Simone Zaza made it 2-0 for Juventus during the final minutes, it was Morata who was praised by the team's supporters. Here are some of their finest comments.
The player himself revealed how it felt to score against his third Spanish "victim"
Morata: "I'm happy to have scored a goal, but above all for the victory of the team."

I'm expecting some classy tweet by Del Piero to Morata.

5 - Prior to Alvaro Morata, the only Juventus player able to score in five consecutive UCL appearances was Alessandro Del Piero. Graduation.
