Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has taken aim at parent club Chelsea and their fans.

Morata moved to Madrid in January on-loan.

He told Goal: "I had lost confidence in myself previously. I was very upset by the opinion of the people in England. I think they caught me in the middle of everything.

"I didn't quite feel loved or appreciated by the club or the fans. I started very well at Chelsea, but an injury in the end leaves you dry."

He added: "Now, signing for Atletico has been the best thing that could happen to me in my life.

"I had a very bad time in London. In the end I was training alone. I talked to Maurizio Sarri and he told me some things that I knew were not going to be as he had said. I was very nervous."
