If there was anything certain, Alvaro Morata's days at Chelsea were numbered. The Spaniard had lost his sharpness and in a bid to resuscitate his career, he joined Atletico Madrid this January.

Facing Juventus in the Champions League will be his first big test at the club. Alvaro Morata plied his trade for the Old Lady from 2014 to 2016.

In the said time span, he scored 27 goals in 93 games for the Italian champions. He clinched 2 Serie A titles, 2 Coppa Italia titles and a Supercopa Italiana medal, while also making an appearance in Juve's 2015 UCL final loss to Barcelona in 2015.

It will be interesting to see if Morata does prove to be a difference and prove his doubters wrong against the colours he wore on his sleeve once.
