Alvaro Morata has been named as the Spain national team's new captain.
This decision was prompted by the fact that Barcelona veteran Sergio Busquets retired from international football while Jordi Alba was omitted from the squad by the new coach Luis de la Fuente.
The fans didn't take the news well.
Mamba: "Fucking hell. When I think of captains I think of the strongest guy mentally, someone who doesn't demand respect. Someone who is both loved and feared. Morata is not that guy."
King_Johnson: "Wtf has happened in Spain for Alvaro Morata to end up being captain of the national team? I like the guy and he's a lot of things, but captain should not be one of them, surely?"
Kamiruresh: "Morata what??? How mighty Spain have fallen."
Musks16: "THE END OF SPAIN."
Some, however, suggest that giving captaincy to someone who's neither from Barca nor Madrid was actually a smart move from de la Fuente. And here comes ✨Morata✨.
