"You have to try to make the most of every minute here – to pile on the pressure and give your all. You never know when it might be your last game." This was the philosophy which Álvaro Morata took out onto the turf with him yesterday. Eleventh time round, Morata made the starting line-up. It was a big responsibility, but he grabbed it with both hands.
He ran and pressured hard from the very first minute – something which the Bernabéu really appreciates, and the lack of which is the cause of the jeering for Benzema. Morata was not about to make that mistake.
The crowd was already behind him, but the clincher was when he tracked back to break up a Málaga counter and win back the ball.
"The coach asked all eleven of us to defend and we did," explained Morata after the game.
The young striker's time was up in the 75th minute. Bale was waiting to come on.
