In terms of direct retribution, the player to have done most damage to Real after let go is surely Alvaro Morata. His recent strike knocked Los Blancos out of the Champions League, denying them the chance to become the first back-to-back European champions since AC Milan in 1989/90. The young Madrid-born striker came on for Karim Benzema in last year's Champions League final, helping the team finally overpower an impressive Atletico side en route to a flattering 4-1 extra time victory. His subsequent 20,000,000 move to Juventus was deemed no great loss to a team with a fearsome frontline of Benzema, Bale, James Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo - but Morata came back to truly bite them on the backside. It's interesting to note that the youngster's contract includes a potential buy-back clause. Will Real deem his performance against them impressive enough to warrant a return?
