The team continued training in prep for Sunday’s match vs. Granada along with Castilla striker Mariano.
If you want to see a bit of what Mariano can do, peep this:
Pepe and Gareth continued their recovery, but the rest of the team took part in the session.
Check out Sergio’s golazo in training!
The birthday boy held up his fingers like the world’s orangest and most fit toddler to let us know how old he is. Or perhaps that’s the number of goals he intends to score against Granada? (and by that I mean 31, not 4!) If I were them, I’d be afraid. Here’s him smacking 5 past them.
He got plenty of birthday wishes from those near and far. Here’s just a few:
And, of course, his mama.
And congrats to Gareth and Karim who were named the Mahou 5 star player of the month for December and January respectively.
Before I forget, Marca is saying that we’re planning on exercising Morata’s buy back clause from Juve in order to sell him on to Man United or Liverpool for an estimated €18m profit. I just want King Muppet Baby to end up somewhere that he gets ample playing time and he’s happy. The boy is a jewel and should be treated as such.

The photo of Sergio and Cris… Is Sergio simulating tickling something? I’m disturbed.
Leave Morata be!
Knowing him, probably!
