Alvaro Morata suggests Giorgio Chiellini dived to deny him a goal during Atletico Madrid-Juventus. “I’d need much more to throw him to the ground.”
Atleti ended up taking a 2-0 lead in their Champions League last-16 tie with Juve on Wednesday evening, but controversy struck when VAR disallowed Morata’s header, adjudging the striker to have pushed Chiellini in the build-up.
“It’s a very important victory because Juventus are one of the best teams in the world,” the Chelsea loanee told Rai Sport.
“It won’t be easy in Turin. I celebrated my goal here because it meant so much to me, but I’d never do it again.
“I wanted to greet my former fans, who did a lot for me. Chiellini? If he did to me what I did to him, it wouldn’t have been a penalty.
“I’d need much more to throw Chiellini to the ground. In return leg you can never say never. We must go there with belief.”

The guy scored a world class goal against Real Madrid and ruled out offside The guy scores a clear goal with slight touch on CHIELLINI before goal and ruled out The guy scores an absolute beauty the game before disallowed. UNLUCKY mate but the one AGAINST Juventus was clear as day and a touch can't bring down a 6"4 guy and prevent him from defending.

Morata should consult Ramos on how to wrestle players down and get away with it .
