Atletico Madrid and Juventus will meet tomorrow at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the first leg of Champions League Round of 16 tie.
Both clubs have reached the final two times during last 6 years, but failed to win the title, as one of them will have to wait for another season after the tie.
Alvaro Morata will play against his former team. Since leaving Juventus, Spaniard has failed to show the level fans have seen at Bianconeri.
Morata had one season at Real Madrid, after which he joined Chelsea, but failed to shine under Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri. Currently, Morata is playing for Diego Simeone’s side on loan terms, as he could make a move in summer.
Is Morata one of the best footballers, who have played for both Juventus and Atletico Madrid?
We’ve tried to find several other stars and see how they ended up at both clubs.
