10 Most Underrated Footballers In The World Right Now

2. Alvaro Morata - Juventus

Alvaro Morata is emerging as one of the best strikers in Europe and has relished his new found starting role at Juventus after Real Madrid allowed him to leave in 2014. Against Real Madrid in last season's Champions League semi-final, he was on target for Juve both home and away to eliminate the holders €” with whom he had won that tournament the season before. He also scored the equaliser in the final against Barcelona but Juventus were unable to win the title after goals from Luis Suarez and Neymar led Luis Enrique's side to a 3-1 victory at the Olympic Stadium. Morata's ability to score goals in the most testing matches was shown again against Manchester City at the Etihad stadium as the Old Lady won 2-1 in the first game of the 2015-16 Champions League group stage.
