Álvaro Morata Scout Report

Álvaro Morata, at 31, remains a potent force in Atletico Madrid's frontline, harnessing a rare mix of attacking prowess and defensive tenacity. The Spaniard's style is defined by his clinical finishing and ability to exploit areas of weakness in the opponent's defence, evidenced by high percentiles in goal threat (95.65%) and goal efficiency (80.43%) categories. His ranking in one vs one defending (97.82%) and penalty area defending (97.82%) is a testament to his unusual ability for a striker to contribute defensively. His superiority in aerial duels (97.78%) underpins Atletico's direct, long-ball style, turning high balls into goal scoring opportunities. However, there's room for improvement in his progressive passing (21.74%), which could enhance his role as a playmaker. Despite the lower activity in the midfield third (24.44%), Morata often operates in the defensive and attacking penalty areas, hinting at an inherent directness in attack. His ball recovery (69.57%) remains fair for his age, although his pass accuracy (26.67%) could potentially impact the fluidity of the game. With a high dispossessed percentile indicating better ball retention, Morata has proven himself to be a well-rounded forward, still very much capable of imposing his presence in the La Liga.
