The final in Munich (Germany) was a tense affair and was decided only on penalties. Morata became the only player to miss a penalty in the shootout, resulting in Spain's 3-5 defeat and their runner-up finish.

Following the defeat, Marca reported that Morata had faced serious death threats from some extremist fans. These threats targeted not only Morata himself but also his family.

Alice Campello, Morata's wife, spoke out in defense of her husband and sent a strong message on her personal page. Alice wrote: "We have no right to judge others."

Morata's wife emphasized that people need to understand that this is just a football match. She posted a photo along with several hateful messages directed at her husband.

In another post, Alice shared her perspective on her husband's mistake: "Everyone makes mistakes in life. Life is a series of lessons, experiences, good and bad moments for everyone, but we have no right to judge others."

Morata himself also left open the possibility of retiring from international football after the defeat against Portugal. He told the press: "Nothing is certain, my decision will be carefully considered and depends on many things. There is a possibility that I will not be available for the next training camp in September."

Morata has made 86 appearances for Spain and scored 37 goals. He played a crucial role in "La Roja's" Euro 2024 winning campaign.
